Mandelson, 72, who was sacked as Britain’s ambassador to the United States last year over his ties to Epstein, allegedly received several payments from Epstein in the early 2000s, according to documents released on Friday by the US Department of Justice and reported in British media Sunday.

The former cabinet minister says he does not want to "cause further embarrassment" by his links to the late convicted paedophile.
