The UK’s envoy to the United States expressed deep remorse for ever associating with Jeffrey Epstein, acknowledging the forthcoming release of more “highly embarrassing” exchanges between them. Lord Peter Mandelson is under scrutiny for his ties to the disgraced sex offender, with leaked notes suggesting a close friendship that he now finds “extremely embarrassing.” He conveyed strong sympathy for Epstein’s victims and condemned his criminal actions.
Reports from the Mirror revealed demands from Epstein’s victims to revoke Lord Mandelson’s UK ambassadorship due to his extensive connections with the convicted felon. Allegations include photos of Mandelson with Epstein and references to him as a “best pal” in documents disclosed by the US House Oversight Committee. The material, including Epstein’s controversial “birthday book,” compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, sheds light on their relationship.
When questioned about his past communications with Epstein, Lord Mandelson expressed deep embarrassment and regret for the association, emphasizing his lack of awareness of Epstein’s illicit activities at the time. He denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal deeds and anticipated the release of potentially incriminating correspondence, which he expects to be embarrassing.
Keir Starmer voiced support for Lord Mandelson following the surfacing of the “best pal” message. The Prime Minister’s spokesperson affirmed confidence in the ambassador, highlighting his contribution to strengthening US-UK relations, defense agreements, and efforts against international conflicts.
Recent statements from the White House dismissed an alleged letter from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein as fake, denying Trump’s involvement in the depicted content. The letter, featuring a suggestive sketch and a birthday wish, was deemed inauthentic by White House authorities.
