"The new documents, which were released by the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee, include an email from Epstein to Lord Mandelson on 6 November 2015, shortly after the peer's birthday, saying "63 years old. You made it". Lord Mandelson replies less than 90 minutes later saying: "Just. I have decided to extend my life by spending more of it in the US"."
"Lord Mandelson has repeatedly said he regrets his relationship with Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking offences. Epstein then replies "in the Donald White House", referring to the US presidential election due later that week. Epstein goes on to say "you were right about staying away from Andrew. I was right in your staying with Rinaldo [sic]", a reference to Lord Mandelson's now-husband Reinaldo Avilda da Silva."
Lord Peter Mandelson maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein as late as 2016 according to released documents. Emails show exchanges in November 2015 with Epstein congratulating Mandelson on his 63rd birthday and Mandelson replying about spending more time in the US. Mandelson was dismissed as the UK's ambassador to the US after officials cited newly revealed information about the depth of his relationship with Epstein. Mandelson has expressed regret about the relationship. The documents were released by the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee and form part of 23,000 pages from Epstein's estate.
