UK Ambassador Told Epstein ‘I Think the World of You,’ Emails Reveal

In a series of newly revealed emails, Peter Mandelson, the UK's current ambassador to the US, expressed his admiration for the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson, a prominent Labour politician, offered to discuss Epstein's 2008 case with his contacts, suggesting he had a close relationship with the disgraced financier. The emails, which date back to the time when Epstein was serving a 13-month sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution, show Mandelson's willingness to engage with Epstein despite his criminal history. This revelation raises questions about the ambassador's judgment and the nature of his relationship with Epstein, who was known to have a vast network of influential connections. The disclosure of these emails comes at a sensitive time, as the UK government faces ongoing scrutiny over its handling of the Epstein case and its ties to the disgraced financier. The revelations may further complicate the diplomatic landscape and raise concerns about the potential influence of powerful individuals with questionable connections.
