"I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened. I can still barely understand it. It just could not happen in Britain. You have to be incredibly resilient, fight for early release and be philosophical about it as much as you can. It continued: Everything can be turned into an opportunity and that you will come through it and be stronger for it."
"The friendship between the two men has come back under the spotlight after Democratic members of the US House oversight committee released Epstein's 50th birthday book, in which Mandelson called him my best pal in a handwritten note. The Telegraph reported that when Mandelson was business secretary in 2010, he allowed Epstein to help broker a deal for JP Morgan to buy part of a commodities firm from the UK government-owned RBS bank after the financier's release from jail."
Leaked emails show British ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson told Jeffrey Epstein to fight for early release and assured him that friends would stay and love him while Epstein faced charges of procuring a child for prostitution. The emails include a June 2008 message urging resilience, early release and viewing adversity as an opportunity to become stronger. A handwritten note in Epstein's 50th birthday book described Mandelson as my best pal. Reports linked Mandelson to a 2010 deal in which Epstein helped broker JP Morgan's purchase of part of a commodities firm from state-owned RBS after Epstein's jail release. Downing Street said Mandelson underwent developed vetting.
