Per Willy Amundsen, a member of the Progress Party and chairman of the Storting's control committee, has openly criticized Prime Minister Støre for his lack of adequate responses to the committee's inquiries related to the Epstein revelations. Two letters have been sent to Støre, yet Amundsen finds the Prime Minister's replies unsatisfactory and plans to initiate a third letter during the upcoming committee meeting. He has labeled Støre's approach as 'arrogant', indicating a serious concern about the government’s transparency regarding the situation.

The control committee has requested detailed explanations about the government's actions following the findings linked to Epstein. Støre's previous assurance that an investigation commission would be set up and that Økokrim (Norway’s National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime) is already looking into the matter has not satisfied the committee's demands. They seek specific clarification on what concrete measures have been enacted in response to the Epstein disclosures.

The unresolved nature of this issue is not only critical in terms of governmental accountability but also reflects the broader implications of political oversight in Norway. Amundsen's insistence on further scrutiny highlights the increasing pressure on the government to act transparently, especially regarding sensitive matters involving international implications or potential scandals.
