The ‘Epstein Files’ shake Trump and monarchies: António Martins da Cruz, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marta Reis, deputy director of SIC, Pedro Cordeiro, editor of Internacional do Expresso, and Nuno Morais Sarmento, former president of FLAD, analyze the effects that are being felt in Europe and the USA. Listen to Expresso da Meia-Noite here, a program made in partnership with Expresso and SIC Notícias
The Epstein files scandal gained a new dimension with the arrest of former Prince Andrew, suspected of having used official functions to share confidential information with Jeffrey Edward Epstein, convicted of sexual exploitation of minors, in a case that exposes a vast international network of power, corruption and abuse.
While in the United States the dossier intersects with Donald Trump’s presidency, the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs and pressure to release all documents, in Europe the focus is on the political and institutional impact, from the British monarchy to Norway, including the possible ramifications in countries like Portugal.
António Martins da Cruz, ambassador and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marta Reis, deputy director of SIC, Pedro Cordeiro, editor of Internacional do Expresso, and Nuno Morais Sarmento, former president of FLAD, were the guests of this Expresso da Meia‑Noite moderated by Bernardo Ferrão and Ângela Silva, broadcast on SIC Notícias, on the night of February 20th.
