"In a tranche of emails between Epstein and Jes Staley at the time a senior executive with JP Morgan, the bank which had a long and close business relationship with Epstein Mandelson's name crops up frequently, sometimes by the diminutive Petie. The emails were detailed in the court document. In June 2009, when Mandelson was Gordon Brown's de facto deputy PM, Epstein wrote to Staley that Peter will be staying at 71st over weekend, a reference to Epstein's vast Manhattan townhouse on East 71st Street."
