Norwegian ministers summoned to Jeffrey Epstein hearings

Several senior officials in the Norwegian government are being summoned to hearings in connection with the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's network in Norway, VG reports.

Norway's Control and Constitutional Committee is summoning Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, among others.

Development Minister Åsmund Grøver Aukrust is also invited, along with a number of other former development ministers.

"The revelations in connection with the Epstein documents raise serious questions about abuse of power," says committee chairman Jonas Andersen Sayed in a press release.

"It's about trust in the entire system. Therefore, it's right to go into this properly."

It was in February that the committee decided to hold open hearings in connection with the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's network in Norway.
