Following reports that Mandelson had continued his friendship with Epstein after his 2008 conviction, he was dismissed as ambassador by Starmer. In February 2026, there were further reports that Mandelson and his husband had received payments from Epstein, and that in 2009 and 2010, Mandelson allegedly passed sensitive government information to Epstein. He described Epstein as his “chief life adviser”, and appears to have sent him a draft of his memoir, The Third Man: Life at the heart of New Labour in May 2010.
He maintains that he has not acted criminally, and was not motivated by financial gain. He has said that he was deceived by Epstein, whom he characterises as a “master manipulator”.
The Metropolitan Police began a criminal investigation into alleged misconduct in a public office.
