Overview
- U.S. House members Suhas Subramanyam and Robert Garcia asked Peter Mandelson to sit for a transcribed interview by the Oversight Committee, saying he may hold critical information about Epstein’s operations, with a response due by month’s end.
- The Metropolitan Police are investigating Mandelson over alleged leaks of sensitive government information to Epstein, with officers reviewing materials seized in searches; Mandelson has not been arrested.
- Thames Valley Police said they are assessing reports that a woman was taken to a Windsor address in 2010 for sexual purposes, and Buckingham Palace said the King is profoundly concerned and will support any police requests.
- Former prime minister Gordon Brown urged the Met to re-examine flight evidence linked to Epstein’s UK trips, citing reports of roughly 87–90 flights and alleged use of Stansted Airport, and called for Andrew to be interviewed.
- Some outlets report unverified claims that women were flown in on Epstein’s jet and admitted to Buckingham Palace under a code name, while DOJ-released emails appear to show messages about Buckingham Palace dinners and trade-visit details; Andrew denies wrongdoing.
