Moscow denies claims Epstein was Russian asset

The Kremlin said on Thursday it did not want to waste time answering questions about unproven suggestions in Western media and by Poland’s premier that late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein may have been some sort of Russian intelligence asset, Reuters writes.

Polish PM Donald Tusk said on Tuesday that Warsaw would launch an investigation into what it said were possible links between Epstein and Russia’s intelligence services, and into any potential impact on Poland.

Tusk, however, gave no evidence for his assertions.

Asked by Reuters about Tusk’s remarks and about Western media reports, Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said: “I would like to joke about such versions, but let’s not waste our time.”
