Starmer Backs Police Probe Into Lord Mandelson Over Epstein 'Leaks'

Mandelson with Gordon Brown when he was business secretary.

Downing Street has backed a police investigation into whether Lord Peter Mandelson broke the law by leaking highly-sensitive government documents to Jeffrey Epstein when he was in the cabinet.

Emails between the former Labour peer and the paedophile financier appear to show Mandelson passing on top secret information about how Gordon Brown’s administration was dealing with the aftermath of the global financial crash in 2008.
