Two high-profile resignations linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s scandal have sent shockwaves through global politics this week. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, and Norway’s ambassador to Jordan, Mona Juul, stepped down amid revelations of ties to the disgraced financier. 🔍
McSweeney’s exit followed backlash over Starmer’s controversial 2025 appointment of ex-Labour politician Peter Mandelson as US ambassador. Mandelson, dismissed last year over Epstein links, sparked a crisis of trust in British leadership. McSweeney admitted in his resignation letter: "I advised the PM to make that appointment… I take full responsibility." 💼
In Norway, Juul’s resignation was called "right and necessary" by Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, who cited "serious failure of judgment" in her Epstein connections. The foreign ministry is now investigating her husband’s role at the International Peace Institute during Epstein’s era. 🕵️♂️
The fallout continues: Norway’s Okokrim agency has opened a corruption probe into former PM Thorbjørn Jagland based on newly released Epstein documents. Over 3 million pages were disclosed in January 2026 under a transparency law signed by Donald Trump in 2025. 📂
As global leaders scramble to contain reputational damage, young voters worldwide are demanding accountability. One thing’s clear: the Epstein saga still holds power to topple careers in 2026. 💥
