<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Police in London arrested former British ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson on Monday over accusations that he shared confidential information with deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mandelson, who was Prime Minister Keir Starmer&#8217;s ambassador to the United States before he was fired in September 2025, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was arrested at an address in Camden on Monday, February 23 and has been taken to a London police station for interview,” a London police spokesman said. “This follows search warrants at two addresses in the Wiltshire and Camden areas.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The arrest comes just days after British police <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-prince-andrew-arrested-over-epstein-files-faces-life-in-prison">arrested</a> former Prince Andrew in connection with his ties to Epstein. The disgraced ex-royal was also arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a crime that could be punished with life in prison. He was accused of sharing confidential trade secrets with Epstein. </span></p>
<p>Mandelson has said he regrets his relationship with Epstein, but denies any wrongdoing.</p>
<p>The arrests follow the release of emails by the Justice Department that shed further light on Epstein&#8217;s relationships with the powerful British political figures.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Previous documents </span><a href="https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2025/09/Request-No.-1.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">released</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee appeared to document a close relationship between Mandelson and Epstein. The documents include a note where Mandelson referred to Epstein as his “best pal” and included a photo of him wearing a bathroom and talking with Epstein. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mandelson also told Epstein, after his 2008 convictions for solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of a minor, that he stood with him. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened,” Mandelson said. “I can still barely understand it. It just could not happen in Britain.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The fallout from Mandelson’s ties to Epstein has rocked the British political world. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chief-of-staff-falls-on-sword-as-party-turns-on-u-k-s-starmer-over-epstein-linked-appointee">resigned</a> after the release of the Epstein files by the Justice Department. McSweeney took responsibility for Starmer’s decision to install Mandelson as the U.K. Ambassador to the United States. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Starmer has also faced calls to resign amid questions about his knowledge of the link between Mandelson and Epstein. </span></p>
