"Mandelson's connection to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was already known about, but newly released files showed that the Labour Party politician had sent emails to the deceased sex offender offering nuggets of information, and in doing so may have broken the law. A spokesperson for Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the emails sent to Epstein contained "likely market-sensitive information.""
"The new Epstein file release more than 3 million pages of documents related to the US Justice Department's case shows how Mandelson passed on sensitive information around the time of the 2008 financial crisis. In one case, the then business secretary in the UK government sent Epstein an internal government report that was looking at how the country could raise money following the crash, including suggesting the sell-off of government assets. In May 2010, he sent another message that "sources tell me 500 b euro bailout" is almost complete."
Peter Mandelson resigned from the House of Lords after newly released Epstein files showed he sent emails to Jeffrey Epstein that may have contained market-sensitive information and could have broken the law. A spokesperson for Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the emails contained "likely market-sensitive information." UK police opened a criminal investigation the day after Mandelson quit the Labour Party. The Epstein file release of more than 3 million US Justice Department documents details how Mandelson passed sensitive information around the 2008 financial crisis, including an internal report on raising funds and a May 2010 message that "sources tell me 500 b euro bailout" was almost complete. Mandelson, 72, served as a Labour strategist and minister including as business secretary.
