The only country where Epstein crimes were committed where they are not investigated is the US.
But the vast majority of his crimes were committed here.
Why is the US DOJ against investigating crimes?
I see, because of Trump.
What can you do about him?

Every Western country is currently doing it's own version of the Epstein files, which both attests to and obscures Epstein's reach and the scale of the scandal. A key example is Thorbjørn Jagland - who headed up the Council of Europe amid the "prisoner voting" years:
