Slovakia PM's national security adviser resigns over Epstein links [View all]

The national security adviser to Slovakia's prime minister has resigned after documents released by the US showed he exchanged messages about girls and diplomacy with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Robert Fico announced he had accepted Miroslav Lajčák's departure in a video message on Saturday, describing the adviser as "an incredible source of experience in diplomacy and foreign policy".
...
In a text exchange, external from October 2018 - when Lajčák was serving as Slovakia's foreign minister - Lajčák and Epstein could be seen lightheartedly discussing women and a forthcoming meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

After Epstein sent an image, which cannot be seen in the record, Lajčák replies: "Why don't you invite me for these games? I would take the 'MI' girl".

I can't help noticing that non-Americans associated with Epstein tend to resign, get sacked, stripped of titles etc., while Americans go on to be CBS news commentators, Secretary of Labor, the world's richest man, US president etc.
