Mandelson expected to be ordered to give evidence in US about Epstein ties
Lord Mandelson ‘to be summoned’ to give evidence in US about Epstein links
- Lord Peter Mandelson is expected to be summoned by US Congress to testify about his links to Jeffrey Epstein, following new claims from recently released "Epstein files".
- The documents reportedly show bank statements from 2003-2004 indicating Mandelson received $75,000 from Epstein, which he claims to have no recollection of.
- Another file suggests Epstein sent £10,000 to Mandelson's husband in 2009, after he requested money for an osteopathy course.
- Lord Mandelson resigned from the Labour Party on Sunday, stating he did not wish to cause "further embarrassment" while he investigates the allegations.
- He was previously sacked as UK ambassador to the US last year due to his ties to Epstein and has apologised to Epstein's victims for his "misplaced loyalty".
