Former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson has been asked by the US House Oversight Committee to cooperate with their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities. Representatives Garcia and Subramanyam sent a letter to Mandelson in February 2026, stating he possesses "critical information" due to his "extensive social and business ties" to Epstein. The committee seeks to uncover Epstein's co-conspirators and understand the full scope of his operations. While the committee cannot compel Mandelson to testify, they are requesting a transcribed interview and expect a response by February 27, 2026. Mandelson was removed from his ambassadorial role in September 2025 following concerns about the extent of his relationship with Epstein.
