"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"As far as he can remember, Mr Blair met with him for less than 30 minutes in Downing Street in 2002, and discussed US and UK politics. He never met or engaged with him subsequently. This was, of course, long before his crimes were known of and his subsequent conviction."
"Lord Mandelson is said to have encouraged then prime minister Sir Tony Blair to meet Jeffrey Epstein in 2002 (PA Wire) Lord Mandelson pushed for the meeting, according to emails seen by the BBC, as documents have been released by the National Archives under Freedom of Information request. The new details come weeks after"
