Caption: UK Police Investigate Peter Mandelson Over Alleged Epstein Leaks. British police launched an investigation into Peter Mandelson over allegations he leaked sensitive market information to Jeffrey Epstein during the financial crisis. The investigation follows claims, including a referral from the British government, and examines potential misconduct in public office. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned Mandelson’s alleged actions, calling them "disgraceful," and ordered a wider inquiry into his ties with Epstein. Emails released as part of the Epstein investigation suggest Mandelson provided Epstein with confidential documents, including information on UK asset sales and a 500-billion-euro EU bailout. Mandelson, who resigned as ambassador after his ties to Epstein came to light, denied any recollection of financial payments linked to Epstein. The investigation also includes scrutiny of Mandelson's earlier interactions with Epstein, including messages about the financier's early release and personal issues. Labour lawmaker Clive Efford raised concerns about who advised Starmer to appoint Mandelson as ambassador, questioning the decision after the scandal broke. Separately, Thames Valley Police are reviewing a claim against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, linked to Epstein, with further inquiries underway Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
