The former U.K. ambassador to the U.S., Peter Mandelson, has been dismissed, due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and now there is one less person in their government that Trump has any personal connection to. At least with Prince Andrew they could reminisce about the good ole days.
Much of US President Donald Trump’s state visit was orchestrated and planned by a man who is no longer invited, the former UK ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandelson.
Mandelson was fired last week after his ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein became another unwelcome problem for the embattled UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Mandelson had been under mounting pressure over his relationship with Epstein after US lawmakers released a “birthday book,” compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday, in which the veteran Labour party politician had penned a handwritten note describing Epstein as “my best pal.”
The scandal snowballed after Bloomberg published a trove of emails between Mandelson and Epstein, in which Mandelson expressed support for his friend and offered to discuss his infamous 2008 Florida case with his political contacts.
