"LONDON British Prime Minister Keir Starmer fired the U.K. ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandelson, over links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein."
"In 2008, before becoming ambassador to the U.S., Mandelson wrote Epstein an email saying, "I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened.""
"Photos have also emerged of Mandelson in a bathrobe at Epstein's home. And there is a birthday message in which Mandelson called Epstein "my best pal.""
"The British Foreign Office says emails show the extent of Mandelson's relationship with the late sex offender was "materially different" from what was known at the time he was appointed as ambassador."
Prime Minister Keir Starmer removed Peter Mandelson as the U.K. ambassador to Washington after revelations of his personal ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Email evidence shows Mandelson described Epstein as "my best pal" and wrote in 2008, "I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened." Photographs reportedly show Mandelson in a bathrobe at Epstein's residence. The Foreign Office says the emails reveal a degree of closeness materially different from what was known when Mandelson was appointed ambassador. The dismissal could complicate diplomatic outreach to the U.S. ahead of the forthcoming state visit.
