"PA Media Jeffrey Epstein paid for Lord Mandelson's travel on two separate occasions in 2003 totalling more than $7,400 (5,400), according to documents released by the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee. Mandelson was sacked as the UK's ambassador to the US on Thursday over his links to the late convicted paedophile. The government said the "depth and extent" of Mandelson's relationship with the financier had not been known when he was appointed last year."
"Just months after Mandelson contributed a 10-page note to Epstein's 2003 "50th birthday book", in which he referred to Epstein as his "best pal", Epstein paid for Mandelson's travel. It is unclear where and when Mandelson's travel took place. The first travel payment by Epstein is dated 4 April 2003 - before he was convicted in 2008 - and cost $3,844.90. A week later, Epstein paid a further $3,642.06."
Jeffrey Epstein paid for Lord Mandelson's travel on two occasions in 2003, totaling more than $7,400. The payments appear in over 33,000 records released by the US House Oversight Committee and show charges on Epstein's account with Shoppers Travel Inc. The first payment, dated 4 April 2003, was $3,844.90, and a week later Epstein paid $3,642.06. Mandelson contributed a 10-page note to Epstein's 2003 "50th birthday book" referring to Epstein as his "best pal." Emails from October 2005 show Mandelson discussing British Airways airmiles with Epstein, and Mandelson reportedly urged Epstein to "fight for early release" before his 18-month sentence.
