Mandelson Under Investigation for Leaking to Epstein: Unraveling a Scandal

The British police have initiated a probe into Peter Mandelson, former ambassador to the U.S., over alleged misconduct related to Jeffrey Epstein. They are investigating whether Mandelson leaked confidential financial information during the 2008 financial crash.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the alleged actions, which have led Mandelson to announce his retirement from the House of Lords. Leaked emails reportedly show Mandelson shared sensitive government documents with Epstein, including advance notice of a significant EU bailout.

The scandal has put Starmer's government under scrutiny as they cooperate fully with the police investigation. The controversy deepens with allegations of financial links between Mandelson and Epstein, further complicating the former ambassador's political standing.
