Ex-PM has written to the Cabinet Office urging them to investigate his former friend over passing confidential memo to sex offender
Gordon Brown, who was prime minister when Peter Mandelson passed at least one confidential memo addressed to him to Jeffrey Epstein (see 12.41pm), has described the leak as “shocking” and written to the cabinet secretary demanding an inquiry.
In a statement, Brown says:
I have today asked the cabinet secretary to investigate the disclosure of confidential and market sensitive information from the then business department during the global financial crisis.
On September 10 last year, I wrote to the cabinet secretary to ask him to investigate the veracity of information contained in the Epstein papers about the sale of assets arising from the banking collapse and communications about them between Lord Mandelson and Mr Epstein.
