Released JPMorgan banking records show Epstein sent three $25,000 payments referencing Mandelson from his JPMorgan account in 2003-2004. In 2009, Epstein sent £10,000 to Mandelson's husband. Epstein loaned Mandelson the use of one of his properties during the period Epstein was serving his Florida jail term.
In June 2009, released materials indicate Mandelson allegedly leaked Downing Street asset-sales proposals and tax-policy plans to Epstein. A December 2009 email from Mandelson to Epstein suggested that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon should 'mildly threaten' UK Chancellor Alistair Darling over a proposed bankers' tax.
On March 31, 2010, Mandelson allegedly forwarded meeting minutes from a meeting between UK Chancellor Alistair Darling and U.S. National Economic Council Director Larry Summers to Epstein within five minutes of receiving them. On May 9, 2010, Mandelson allegedly gave Epstein advance notice of the €500 billion EU bailout, with UK PM Gordon Brown resigning a day later.
Released materials include a redacted image of Mandelson in his underwear standing next to an unidentified woman.
Dismissed as U.K. Ambassador to the United States in September 2025 after the Epstein materials surfaced. Forced to resign from the Labour Party and from the House of Lords in February 2026. On February 23, 2026, the Metropolitan Police arrested Mandelson on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
