Kremlin: Putin received no meeting request from Epstein

The Kremlin has not received any request from American financier Jeffrey Epstein to meet with President Vladimir Putin, said Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, in response to an inquiry from RTVI.

Note that Putin’s name appears repeatedly in Epstein’s documents, mainly in news articles exchanged among the financier’s interlocutors. His emails also indicate that he tried several times to meet Putin, including in 2011 and 2014, but was unsuccessful.
