Slovakia's security adviser resigns amid Epstein-file disclosures

Slovakia’s national security adviser Miroslav Lajčák resigned after newly released Jeffrey Epstein materials showed messages between them; Prime Minister Robert Fico said the resignation was to spare him political costs and praised Lajčák as an experienced diplomat who had previously served as foreign minister.
