The U.S. House Oversight Committee has released over 20,000 pages of documents connected to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, revealing previously unknown communications with public figures — including Miroslav Lajčak, the former EU Special Representative for the Kosovo–Serbia Dialogue.
According to the Slovak daily SME, which analyzed the archive, the documents include email exchanges between Epstein and Lajčak dating back to 2018.
In one message from March 15, 2018, Epstein references “Miro Lajčak” while commenting on the political collapse in Slovakia, at a time when Prime Minister Robert Fico’s government resigned amid nationwide protests over the murder of journalist Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová.
Another email from March 24, 2018, shows Epstein sending Lajčak a Daily Beast article titled “How Close Is Donald Trump to a Mental Breakdown?”
Lajčak replies from an official Slovak foreign ministry address with:
“Thank you! I think we heard enough testimony today on that topic.”
The exchange appears informal, though the fact that Lajčak — a senior diplomat — was corresponding with a man already widely known for his predatory behavior raises ethical questions about judgment, associations, and transparency.
Epstein, who trafficked and abused minors for years and provided them to powerful global clients, was arrested in July 2019 and died the following month in custody, officially ruled a suicide.
The release of the documents has also reignited a wave of political manipulation, especially by Slovak politician Ľuboš Blaha, who is now pushing conspiracy theories suggesting U.S. involvement in the fall of Fico’s government — claims that no Slovak media outlet has verified.
Lajčak was appointed EU Special Representative for the Kosovo–Serbia Dialogue in April 2020 — two years after the email exchanges with Epstein — and held the position until 2024. The new revelations are expected to intensify scrutiny over his diplomatic credibility and the lack of accountability surrounding figures connected, even indirectly, to Epstein’s shadowy network.
