The Dalai Lama, in a statement, denied any links with Jeffrey Epstein after reports of his name being mentioned in the file surfaced. The US Justice Department’s latest release of Epstein files has reignited global controversy by dragging a fresh set of high-profile names into public debate, including US President Donald Trump, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, billionaire Elon Musk and Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.
The statement released by the office of the Dalai Lama denied links with Epstein, stating, "Some recent media reports and social media posts concerning the ‘Epstein files’ are attempting to link His Holiness the Dalai Lama with Jeffrey Epstein. We can unequivocally confirm that His Holiness has never met Jeffrey Epstein or authorised any meeting or interaction with him by anyone on His Holiness’s behalf."
