MEA rips into Epstein files, rejects any link to PM Modi
India on Saturday strongly rejected a reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein, describing it as “little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal” that deserves to be dismissed with the “utmost contempt“. The latest files relating to the convicted sex trafficker were released by US authorities.
“We have seen reports of an email message from the so-called Epstein files that has a reference to the prime minister and his visit to Israel,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a statement.
“Beyond the fact of the prime minister’s official visit to Israel in July 2017, the rest of the allusions in the email are little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal, which deserve to be dismissed with the utmost contempt,” he said. The email is among investigative files released by the US Justice Department on Friday. The department released 3.5 million pages and 2,000 videos in line with an American law that was passed by the US Congress.
One of the released emails, Epstein on July 6, 2017, talks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Israel. “On Thu, Jul 6, 2017, at 3:32 PM jeffrey E.
