A recent surge of revelations stemming from newly released Epstein files has ignited a tempestuous storm of outrage and indignation in Norway, prompting intense scrutiny on high-ranking officials believed to have had ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Among those scrutinized is former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland, who found himself at the center of a criminal investigation launched by Norwegian police for "gross corruption" linked to gifts, loans, and benefits he may have received from Epstein. In the released documents, there's an implication that Jagland had close associations with Epstein during his tenure as secretary-general of the Council of Europe and Nobel Committee chairman.
Moreover, Borge Brende, who headed Norway's foreign ministry between 2013 to 2017, has also come under fire after evidence emerged showing he had several business dinners with Epstein, and communicated via email and text messages. The Norwegian government has subsequently launched an independent review into the matter. Meanwhile, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway is in hot water due to hundreds of private messages with Epstein revealing her alleged close relationship with him. In response to the scandal, she expressed deep sympathy for the victims but also admitted to regretting having any contact with Epstein.
The escalating fallout has led to demands from opposition parties and parliament for a more thorough probe into Norwegian politics and foreign affairs regarding these revelations.

what's going on in Norway rn is like crazy! I mean, I'm not surprised that some high-ups got cozy with Epsteins but Thorbjorn Jagland and Borge Brende gotta be held accountable for their actions 
. I get why Mette-Marit apologizing for her ties to Epstein is a good first step, but the fact that Crown Princess is in hot water over it is pretty messed up 
.
. We need to know what's going on behind closed doors and make sure our leaders are not profiting from questionable connections or exploiting their positions of trust 
. It's time for some serious investigations and consequences 
. Norway can't just sweep this under the rug like that 
.
! So, I mean, Thorbjorn Jagland is supposed to be one of the most respected guys in their politics scene, but it turns out he's been sniffing around Epstein like a puppy at a trash can 
. And now, Borge Brende is taking the fall for having some business chats with him? Like, what did he expect from his job? 
Meanwhile, Crown Princess Mette-Marit is all like "oh no I regretted meeting Epstein" but still had hundreds of private messages with him? What's good there? 
.
. And now, everyone's demanding a full investigation into Norwegian politics and foreign affairs – but isn't that just a bit too convenient for them? 
I mean, can we really trust that it won't be a whitewash? At the same time, Crown Princess Mette-Marit seems genuinely remorseful about her interactions with Epstein... but is she just trying to salvage her reputation or what? 
This whole thing is super messy and I'm not sure who to believe anymore 
.
. Can't say I'm surprised tho, who hasn't got some dodgy acquaintances in the rich and powerful crowd? But hey, at least Crown Princess Mette-Marit is owning her mistakes, even if it's just with a bunch of angsty private messages 
. The real question is, what were these high-ranking officials thinking?! Did they really not see the Epstein red flag waving in the wind like everyone else? 
, saw some gorgeous wildflowers blooming everywhere! You know what's weird about hiking? How you can be so close to nature yet still spend hours thinking about your grocery list for the week 
. Anyway, back to this Epstein scandal... I mean, who knew Norway had such a dark side? It's like, we always think of Norway as this super peaceful and safe country 
. I wonder if anyone has checked on the current state of their frozen food storage in case of an emergency... just saying 
. We've seen scandals before, and it's easy to make assumptions without all the facts 
. And what about all the good that Jagland did as PM? Should we totally trash his entire record just because of some alleged Epstein connections 
.
this is getting good, i mean, we all knew there was something fishy goin on behind the scenes, but wow! 
this whole thing is like a big ol' web of deceit and corruption, and i gotta say, my radar's goin off the charts right now 
, no matter how hard you try to hide it. these high-ranking officials thought they were above the law, but guess what? power doesn't protect everyone 
.
Thorbjorn Jagland and Borge Brende need to come clean about their associations with Epstein ASAP 
. And Crown Princess Mette-Marit, I feel you, girl 
, but still, it's a bit much that we're learning about her alleged close friendship with him now 
. It's like, how could they have missed this stuff back then? 
and I'm definitely rooting for the opposition parties who are demanding a thorough probe 
I'm not surprised about this at all, tbh! 
. But now that the documents are out, it's clear that these high-ranking officials were way too cozy with Epstein. I mean, come on, Crown Princess Mette-Marit has like, hundreds of private messages with him 
? That's just wrong! 
. It's always been a bit murky, but now we're seeing the full extent of it. I'm all for an independent review, tbh 
, because at least that's something concrete they can do to address this mess.
.
First, you had Jagland, the former PM, who was basically best buds with Epstein? That's some weird stuff. And now Borge Brende is getting heat for having dinner with him too?! 
It's crazy! I don't get why they didn't do their due diligence back then. And Crown Princess Mette-Marit... girl, you're like "oh no, I had contact with Epstein" and that's it?
