"Peter Mandelson, who was sacked as the UK's ambassador to Washington over his association with Jeffrey Epstein, was in contact with the pedophile financier as late as 2016, new emails have revealed. Mandelson was sacked in September over leaked emails in which he expressed his support for Epstein and urged him to fight for early release in 2008 while the disgraced financier was facing charges of soliciting sex from minors."
"The documents contain an email from Epstein to Mandelson on 6 November 2016 which said: 63 years old. You made it, in an apparent reference to Mandelson's birthday two weeks earlier. The former ambassador replied less than 30 minutes later, saying Just. I have decided to extend my life by spending more of it in the US. Epstein responded: In the Donald white house, in a reference to Donald Trump, who was elected president two days later."
Peter Mandelson was sacked as the UK's ambassador to Washington over his association with Jeffrey Epstein after leaked emails showed support and attempts to secure Epstein's early release in 2008 while Epstein faced charges of soliciting minors. Earlier tranches showed contact until 2010. New emails released by House oversight Democrats show Mandelson and Epstein exchanged messages as late as 6 November 2016, including Epstein noting '63 years old' and Mandelson replying about spending more time in the US. The exchange referenced the incoming Trump White House and mentioned staying away from 'Andrew' and Mandelson's partner, Reinaldo Avila da Silva. The emails reignited political fallout in Britain.
