Documents released in US appear to show the convicted child sex offender sent former US ambassador $75,000
Peter Mandelson should testify before the US Congress about his links to Jeffrey Epstein, a government minister has said, as documents appeared to show the late child sex offender sent the former US ambassador $75,000.
Emails and other documents released by the US justice department on Friday shed new light on the closeness of the relationship between Epstein and Lord Mandelson.
Bank statements appear to show three separate payments of $25,000 referencing the former UK business secretary and MP being sent from Epstein’s JP Morgan bank accounts.
Contacted about the statements, Mandelson said: “I have no record and no recollection of receiving these sums and do not know if the documents are authentic.”
