Peter Mandelson Tried to Get Epstein's 'Goddaughter' Into 10 Downing Street

British politician and peer Peter Mandelson attempted to help convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein arrange access to 10 Downing Street for his so-called 'goddaughter,' according to newly released emails from US courts.

The request came while Epstein was serving time in prison for procuring a minor for prostitution. Mandelson, a former cabinet minister and EU trade commissioner, was trying to get the woman a visit to the UK Prime Minister's official residence.

Jeffrey Epstein was a wealthy financier who maintained relationships with politicians, royalty, and celebrities before his conviction on sex trafficking charges. He died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

The emails provide new evidence of how Epstein continued to leverage his political connections even while incarcerated. Mandelson has previously acknowledged knowing Epstein but said he cut ties after learning about the criminal charges.

Why this matters

This shows how Epstein used his connections with powerful politicians even while serving time for sex crimes. It raises questions about who else may have helped Epstein maintain his influence from behind bars.

What to watch

More details may emerge as additional Epstein-related documents continue to be released through ongoing court cases.
