Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has reacted strongly to recent revelations about Jeffrey Epstein linked to Norway, including the convicted sex offender's contact with senior Norwegian politicians.

That it is possible to buy influence if you are rich enough. Buying political power and influence is an expression of what large class differences can lead to. I react strongly to that, he tellsNRK.

Gahr Støre believes that the revelations fundamentally undermine trust in people in power. The fact that the police are investigating underlines the seriousness of the matter.

I think it's been shocking for people to get this kind of insight into this world and the connection between people with power, and how it has affected people without power, who have been subjected to abuse and violence.
