From India to Australia: Epstein Files Spark Global Fallout

The release of Jeffrey Epstein's files has triggered reactions in several countries, revealing connections with powerful figures outside the US.

India: The files show communications between Anil Ambani, a close friend of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Epstein. The conversations concerned topics such as the evaluation of US ambassadors to India and the scheduling of Modi's meetings with US officials. The Indian government has dismissed the references to Modi.

Australia: Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is also mentioned in the files. While Rudd denies any friendship with Epstein, the files indicate a scheduled meeting and an email where Epstein asks for non-vegetarian food to be prepared for Rudd.

United Kingdom: Peter Mandelson, a former minister, resigned from the Labour Party after the disclosure of $75,000 in payments from Epstein. Mandelson stated that he has no recollection of the payments.

Slovakia: National Security Advisor Miroslav Lajcak resigned after the publication of photos and emails revealing meetings and exchange of messages about women with Epstein.
