Overview
- Emails released by Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee include a direct exchange dated November 6, 2016 between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Mandelson.
- Epstein wrote "63 years old. You made it," to which Mandelson replied about spending more time in the U.S., and Epstein responded "In the Donald White House."
- The messages reference Prince Andrew, with Epstein noting Mandelson was "right about staying away from Andrew" and Mandelson replying "without Andrew it would not have gone nuclear."
- Mandelson was dismissed as the U.K.’s ambassador to Washington in September after earlier leaked emails surfaced, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has ruled out any future government role for him.
- The committee’s release comprises thousands of documents from Epstein’s estate, including a 2011 thread in which Mandelson discouraged Epstein from a proposed BBC interview.
