mong the new trove of 3m files relating to Jeffrey Epstein released last week are a vast number of stories shedding light on his relationships with prominent figures in the US, the UK, and around the world. Inclusion in the files does not imply wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s wrongdoing – but a sampling of some of the details they include provides extraordinary detail on the extent of his network.
The latest tranche of files has linked Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit to Epstein, appearing to show her extensive contact with the disgraced financier from 2011 to 2014.
According to the Norwegian daily VG, Mette-Marit told Epstein that “you tickle my brain” in one message and called him “soft hearted” and “such a sweetheart” in others.
