Former Norwegian PM Attempts Suicide Amid Epstein Scandal

Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalized after a suicide attempt following allegations of corruption related to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. His condition is currently serious. Notably, an agreement was reached between Jagland's lawyer and media representatives to not cover the incident. Police have already conducted extensive searches of his properties, and the lifting of his immunity by the Council of Europe allowed for the formal filing of charges. Jagland denies the allegations and states his willingness to cooperate with authorities. It was also revealed that he had planned visits to Epstein's homes in various locations.
