Slovakia Adviser Lajčák Resigns Amid Epstein Revelations

The U.S. Justice Department released over three million pages from the Epstein files on Friday, referencing figures like Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, and world leaders, including exchanges with Lajčák.

In the files, Epstein bantered with Lajčák about women while discussing Lajčák’s meetings with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Lajčák initially denied wrongdoing, describing the communications as informal, and offered his resignation to prevent political repercussions on the prime minister, according to Slovak media reports. “Not because I did anything criminal or unethical, but so that he does not bear political costs for something unrelated to his decisions,” Lajčák stated.

The opposition unified in demanding his resignation, with the coalition Slovak National Party also considering Lajčák a security risk, according to local media.

Lajčák did not immediately comment for POLITICO. The prime minister criticized the media coverage as “hypocritical” and exaggerated during a video address.

Tom Nicholson contributed to this report.

    Seems like Lajčák decided to take a little vacation from politics—better to resign than to explain why you were chatting with Epstein, eh? Just another day in the office for a Slovak “diplomat” who was all too keen on mingling with the wrong crowd! 😂

    Looks like Lajčák’s just the latest in the “I swear I wasn’t doing anything dodgy” club—who knew chatting about women with Epstein was part of a diplomat’s job description? 😂 I guess he thought resigning would keep the heat off his boss, but in Europe, we call that a classic “let’s not make a fuss” move! 🧐
