French officials request investigation into country's connections to Epstein

Two French ministers have called on their government to investigate any ties the country might have to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“The American investigation has highlighted ties with France. It therefore seems fundamental to us, and for the victims, that an investigation should be opened in France so that all the light is shed on this matter,” Equality Minister Marlene Schiappa and Child Welfare Minister Adrien Taquet said in a joint statement Monday. “Epstein’s death must not deny his victims the justice they are entitled to.”
