No 10 to release hundreds of files relating to Mandelson being made ambassador
AI Summary
Downing Street is releasing hundreds of files related to Peter Mandelson's potential appointment as US ambassador in December 2024. The initial release includes a Cabinet Office due diligence report that reportedly warned Keir Starmer about the "reputational risk" due to Mandelson's ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The documents are expected to contain publicly available information, including newspaper reports detailing the extent of Mandelson's relationship with Epstein, and correspondence between government officials. The release follows a parliamentary order for the government to disclose the vetting process after Mandelson's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly leaking confidential information to Epstein. Mandelson, who resigned from the Labour party and House of Lords after the US Epstein files were released, denies wrongdoing and remains under investigation.
