Overview
- Democrats on the U.S. House Oversight Committee published thousands of files from Epstein’s estate, including a November 6, 2016 email exchange with Peter Mandelson.
- In the 2016 messages, Epstein referenced Mandelson’s birthday, mentioned a “Donald White House,” and wrote that Mandelson was right about staying away from Andrew.
- The new material pushes their known correspondence six years beyond the previously reported 2010 cutoff established by earlier leaked emails.
- Keir Starmer removed Mandelson as UK ambassador to Washington in September over earlier emails, and has since ruled him out for future government roles.
- The Design Museum confirmed Mandelson no longer holds any honorary status there after this week’s disclosures, as further emails show he discouraged a BBC interview and cautioned Epstein over links to Andrew.
