Background

Epstein Connection
Extensive email documentation reveals a sustained social relationship between Lajčák and Jeffrey Epstein spanning at least from October 2017 through June 2019. Meetings -- primarily lunches and dinners -- were coordinated through Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff and Lajčák's aide Vanda Šipošová at the Office of the President of the General Assembly. The meetings occurred in New York and were arranged with subject lines explicitly referencing 'Jeffrey Epstein.' The relationship persisted well after Epstein's 2008 conviction and continued until at least weeks before Epstein's July 2019 arrest. Epstein also communicated directly with Lajčák from his personal email address ([email protected]), sharing a political article in March 2018. Someone introduced Lajčák to Epstein enthusiastically, telling Epstein he would be 'delighted to be invited to come by on Monday night' and urging 'Google him!'
