Thorbjørn Jagland is a Norwegian politician who served as prime minister from 1996 to 1997. In a 2014 email to Epstein, Jagland had planned a family trip to Little Saint James island. The trip was eventually cancelled because of the annexation of Crimea by Russia, which caused Jagland, who was secretary general of the Council of Europe at the time, to stay in Europe. Jagland was also the head of the Nobel Committee when he exchanged emails with Epstein. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said Jagland had exercised "poor judgement". Epstein told Jagland that he could advise Putin on how to talk with Trump. After the Council of Europe lifted his diplomatic immunity, in February 2026 Jagland was charged with "gross corruption" over his links to Epstein by Norway's Økokrim prosecution service.
