Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has agreed with Crown Princess Mette-Marit's admission of 'poor judgement' after it emerged she had extensive contacts with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The recent release of millions of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's case has sparked renewed scrutiny of his associates, including former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew. However, the release has done little to bring justice or closure to Epstein's victims, who feel betrayed by the lack of additional prosecutions. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that there would be no further prosecutions, citing the difficulty in building cases against Epstein's associates. Critics argue that the Justice Department has not fully complied with a new law requiring the release of Epstein-related documents, and some lawmakers are considering contempt or impeachment proceedings against senior officials. The release has also reignited conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's case and raised questions about the moral code of the wealthy and powerful individuals who associated with him.
