Newly released congressional documents show that pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein chatted with the former boss of the Council of Europe about making contact with senior Russian officials. “I think you might suggest to putin that lavrov can get insight on talking to me,” Epstein wrote to Thorbjørn Jagland, who was the human rights organization’s secretary-general at the time, in a June 24, 2018 email. Putin and Lavrov were, and remain, Russia’s president and foreign minister, respectively.
