Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri hit back at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi Wednesday over mention of his name in the Epstein Files, clarifying he only met the late and disgraced American financier “on a few occasions (and) as part of a delegation” and only exchanged one email with him.
Puri told reporters this afternoon, hours after Gandhi’s explosive allegations in a parliamentary speech, that his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein “had nothing to do with charges against him…”
The minister said his primary interaction at that time was with LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman, and that he had invited the internet entrepreneur and venture capitalist to India.
