How the Epstein scandal has shaken the British government to its core
"No matter his best efforts to convince his supporter base that there was nothing to see here, the demands for the administration to release every document it had on the child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein only grew. Yet even after the most shocking revelations in the latest drop about Trump's inner circle involving everyone from Elon Musk to the Maga honcho Steve Bannon to the commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, not to mention Trump himself"
"There is, however, one political establishment that the Epstein scandal has shaken to its core in the UK, where revelations in the files have sent a shock wave through the governing party that threatens to topple it entirely. Although the former Prince Andrew, the brother of King Charles, is the best known Briton to entangle himself in Epstein's web, there is another figure who has brought the scandal back home with him."
Jeffrey Epstein document releases implicated numerous high-profile figures in the United States, including members of Donald Trump's inner circle, Elon Musk, Steve Bannon and commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. Despite shocking revelations, no resignations or firings have occurred and the US president remains politically secure. In the United Kingdom the fallout hit the governing party hard, with files prompting a police criminal investigation into Peter Mandelson over allegations that he shared sensitive government emails with Epstein while serving as business minister in 2009. Mandelson, a former British ambassador to the US with a long, controversial political career and nicknamed the 'Prince of Darkness,' now faces renewed scrutiny.
