The Digester

Newly released US Department of Justice files have linked Labour figure Peter Mandelson and Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein, triggering police inquiries, resignations and renewed demands for accountability across Downing Street and the royal family.

The US Department of Justice released millions of Epstein-related records this week that include emails, photos and other material linked to UK figures.
Emails show Peter Mandelson may have shared sensitive 2008-2010 government documents with Jeffrey Epstein, prompting his removal as ambassador to the US.
The Metropolitan Police have opened an investigation into Mandelson for misconduct in public office and searched two properties tied to him.
Records allege $75,000 in transfers from Epstein to accounts linked to Mandelson or his partner, which Mandelson says he does not recall.
The files include a photograph and new allegations connected to Prince Andrew, and police are reviewing information related to a 2010 visit to Windsor.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer apologized to Epstein victims, said Mandelson lied and regretted appointing him, as the controversy puts pressure on his government.
