Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Jeffrey Epstein secretly recorded and filmed influential leaders and executives of major companies in the West, suggesting that this could be a "honey trap" operation conducted by Russian intelligence, reigniting global security and intelligence discussions.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk made a striking claim regarding the contents of the documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that were made public. According to Tusk, Epstein may have collected secret recordings of influential leaders in the West and top executives of leading companies, accumulating kompromat (compromising material) to exert pressure on these powerful figures. Tusk stated that it is believed this process is part of an operation conducted by Russian intelligence.
"HONEY TRAP" CLAIM
Evaluating the issue during a Polish government meeting, Prime Minister Tusk said that the thousands of references to Putin and Moscow in the recently released millions of pages of Jeffrey Epstein files indicate possible connections to this incident. Tusk expressed that some of the content in the files suggests it may have been organized for the purpose of a "honey trap" against Western leaders.
SPECIAL TEAM FORMED
Tusk reported that a special team has been formed to examine the files and that all possibilities that could threaten Poland's national security are being investigated. This assessment, which gives an official dimension to the long-standing speculation about Epstein's connections with Russian intelligence, has resonated widely in Europe.
MAY BE CONNECTED TO RUSSIA
The presence of approximately 10,000 references to Moscow and 1,056 references to Putin in the Epstein documents has been interpreted by experts as potentially opening the door to claims of connections with Russia. Experts point out that attempts to collect kompromat have been used in traditional intelligence operations, while also indicating that the manipulation or misinterpretation of such materials could escalate political tensions.
WHAT IS A HONEY TRAP?
