I never saw young women on Epstein visits, Mandelson tells BBC

In a BBC interview, Lord Mandelson, the former UK ambassador to the US, stated that he never saw any young women during his visits to Jeffrey Epstein's properties. Mandelson also expressed his belief that former US President Donald Trump would not attempt to acquire Greenland by force. The interview marks Mandelson's first public comments since his dismissal as the UK's ambassador to the United States. Mandelson's remarks come amid ongoing investigations into Epstein's alleged sex trafficking and the nature of his relationships with prominent individuals. While Mandelson's comments provide some insight into his personal experiences, the article does not delve into the broader context of the Epstein case or the implications of Mandelson's statements. The article focuses on Mandelson's specific claims and does not include any additional details or analysis.
