Peter Mandelson appears to have met Jeffrey Epstein at New York mansion on a taxpayer-funded trip – while billionaire paedophile was under house arrest, new documents show

Peter Mandelson appears to have met Jeffrey Epstein on a taxpayer-funded trip to America when the disgraced financier was under house arrest for sex offences, newly-uncovered documents indicate.

Epstein’s private schedule, unearthed by The Mail on Sunday, reveals Lord Mandelson was due to have two meetings with the convicted paedophile at his £60 million New York mansion on consecutive days in March, 2010, while on a trip that cost taxpayers more than £8,000.

At the time Lord Mandelson was Business Secretary and First Secretary of State – effectively the second most powerful politician in Gordon Brown’s government as de facto deputy prime minister.

Epstein, meanwhile, was under house arrest after being sentenced in 2008 to 18 months in jail by a Florida court for procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute. 

Last night the Foreign Office refused to answer questions, including whether the Labour grandee’s two meetings with Epstein took place. 

Lord Mandelson, 71, now the UK’s ambassador to the US, has said he ‘deeply regrets’ both ever meeting Epstein and the hurt caused to his victims. 

He also claimed he never had any kind of professional or business relationship with him. But quizzed recently about his relationship with Epstein, who died in 2019, he told a senior Financial Times journalist to ‘f*** off’.

Lord Mandelson and the financier are believed to have been first introduced by Ghislaine Maxwell, who was jailed in 2022 for 20 years for helping Epstein traffic under-age girls.

Carney campaign pushes back on Maxwell photos, says ‘they are not friends’

The nascent leadership campaign of Mark Carney is blaming the Pierre Poilievre Conservatives for circulating photos of the global banker with Ghislaine Maxwell, the jailed ex-girlfriend of the late Jeffrey Epstein.

The photos began circulating on social media Monday. It appears the original account to share it is a small anonymous account with few followers and only a few posts over the past few weeks.  

The original post pointed to a photo of Carney and his wife Diana Fox Carney standing with Maxwell, the British socialite-turned-sex trafficker and Epstein associate who is serving 20 years in jail.  

“This is another example of how Pierre Poilievre and (adviser) Jenni Byrne have always played politics and it shows again how terrified they are to fight Mark Carney,” a source close to Carney told the Toronto Sun when asked about the photos and any association between the Carneys and Maxwell.  

“As a child, the woman you reference went to the same high school as Mr. Carney’s wife’s sister. While they have bumped into each other in public settings (including the 11-year-old photos you’ve sent), they are not friends.”

Jeffrey Epstein’s former assistant Sarah Kellen dodges prosecution for sex trafficking – despite allegedly being Ghislaine Maxwell’s ex right-hand woman

Jeffrey Epstein’s assistant Sarah Kellen has dodged prosecution for sex trafficking despite being repeatedly mentioned in his grand jury files from 2005.

Kellen was named three times by Epstein’s victims in the transcript of a court hearing in Palm Beach, Florida, during the original investigation into the late pedophile’s sex trafficking ring.

Victims described her greeting them at his now-razed seafront mansion  and then leading them upstairs to the massage room.

Once there, Kellen set up the oils for the massage before Epstein arrived and sexually assaulted or raped them.

One victim described how she contacted Kellen to make an appointment to see Epstein, the first of ‘hundreds’ of times she would go to his house to be sexually assaulted.

Also named repeatedly was Nadia Marcinko – also known as Marcinkova – a model from Eastern Europe who victims said they had sex with at Epstein’s command.

Both women were named as alleged co-conspirators under Epstein’s sweetheart plea deal with prosecutors in Palm Beach in 2008.

Unsealed court documents allege Marcinko, who has never been charged with any crime, procured young women for Epstein, a claim her lawyers have denied.

Third batch of Epstein documents released: Les Wexner’s wife Abigail called ‘to talk about something private’

The third batch of Epstein documents was released on Friday and includes details of phone messages left for the late pedophile by Victoria Secret mogul Les Wexner’s wife, Abigail, and the search terms lawyers used while combing through Ghislaine Maxwell‘s computers. 

Twenty-nine exhibits were uploaded on Friday in the latest tranche of papers. They were all filed and kept secret for years as part of Virginia Giuffre‘s lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015. Giuffre sued because Ghislaine had accused her publicly of lying about sleeping with Prince Andrew.

The long-awaited ‘list’ has not yielded the type of allegations that many hoped for, aside from a previously unreported claim of an ‘orgy’ involving Prince Andrew. 

Instead, the documents reveal closer details of Epstein’s inner circle and the extent of his closeness with high profile individuals like Bill Clinton. 

Among the newest files are details of how Virginia’s team thought they could nail Maxwell and Epstein. 

The attorneys were given permission to search Maxwell’s computers and iCloud, finding anything that would prove Virginia’s claims that the pair ran a sophisticated sex trafficking ring involving some of the world’s most powerful.

UK police say no probe into Prince Andrew over Epstein claims

UK police said Friday that no investigation has been launched into Prince Andrew after an anti-monarchy group filed a complaint based on recently released US court documents detailing people linked to accused sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein.

A New York judge on Wednesday began to unseal the identities of those linked in the documents to disgraced US financier Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial.

In them, Andrew, who is formally known as the Duke of York, is accused of groping a woman, which he denies.

Republic, which wants an elected British head of state, said in a statement on Thursday that “we’ve just reported Andrew to the police.”

Opposition Labour leader Keir Starmer — a former chief state prosecutor — also said Friday police should “look at” the new claims.

But the Metropolitan Police said Friday that “no investigation has been launched”.

“We are aware of the release of court documents in relation to Jeffrey Epstein,” it said in a statement.

Epstein list reignites suspicion the pedo financier was working for Mossad and blackmailing the elite with help of ‘useful idiot’ Prince Andrew – after meeting Israeli PM Ehud Barak at least THIRTY SIX times

The Jeffrey Epstein list of associates unsealed by a US judge has reignited suspicions the pedophile financier was an asset for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency.

Israel’s former prime minister Ehud Barak was identified in the bombshell dossiers Wednesday night. He served as PM from 1991 to 2001 after serving in the IDF for 35 years, rising to Chief of the General Staff.

While he is mentioned only fleetingly in the new files – an Epstein victim asked whether she’d ever given Barak a massage – there has long been speculation surrounding his relationship with the financier. 

Barak met with Epstein some 36 times and was pictured entering his Manhattan townhouse with a scarf around his face in 2016. Young women were seen coming in and out of the residence that same day.

Former Israeli spies have gone on record stating that Epstein’s international sex trafficking was a honeypot entrapment operation – gaining valuable ‘kompromat’ material to blackmail political and business elites.

Prince Andrew, also named in the new list, was Epstein’s ‘useful idiot’, according to an ex-intelligence agent, and described by the financier as his ‘Super Bowl trophy’ for his powerful connections.

During the pair’s friendship, Andrew invited Ghislaine Maxwell and the financier to high society events in London – even allowing them to stay at the Queen’s Balmoral estate. At the time, Andrew served as the UK’s international trade envoy, helping the government to promote business abroad.

Maxwell – who acted as Epstein’s madam – is also closely intertwined in the alleged honeytrap operation. Her father Robert Maxwell, a British newspaper magnate, is alleged to have been a Mossad agent and may have provided the link between Epstein and Jerusalem’s intelligence agency.

Like Epstein’s alleged hanging while awaiting trial, Maxwell’s death on his yacht – The Lady Ghislaine – off the coast of Spain in 1991 has attracted suspicions of assassination.

Jeffrey Epstein list WILL be released with first names dropping today: ‘Jane Doe’ 107 and another to remain secret for 30 days

A long-awaited list of 187 of Jeffrey Epstein‘s friends and associates will be released with the first names dropping today, the court which holds the papers has confirmed. 

The list of names is part of a settled lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell.  The case was settled in 2017, but Giuffre – and many others – have long called for the names to become public. 

The process was thrown into chaos by a request by Jane Doe 107, one of the women involved, who has been given a 30 day extension to prove that she will be in danger if she is publicly unmasked. 

She and at least one other – John Doe 110 – will retain their anonymity until January 22nd, but the others on the list will be named between now and then, according to Ed Friedland, the District Executive for the Southern District of New York. 

Doe 110 is a well-known Epstein associate who has been publicly linked to him in the past, and who never objected to being named until now, according to court filings obtained by DailyMail.com.  

The names will be released on a rolling basis. It’s unclear how many will be made public today, or how long it will take for all to become known.

Epstein List Delayed as Court Grants “Doe 107” a 30-Day Extension to Submit Evidence Regarding Allegations of Physical Harm and Hate Mail

The release of the highly anticipated list of names associated with the late Jeffrey Epstein has been postponed to January 22 after an enigmatic figure, known only as “Doe 107,” was granted a 30-day extension by the court.

In the ongoing legal battle of Giuffre v. Maxwell, the Court has granted an extension for the submission of supplemental materials in support of continued sealing. This decision comes after a letter from the law firm of Levitt & Kaizer, representing Doe 107 in the case, requested an extension of time due to not being on the ECF service list and not receiving the Court’s endorsement of October 27, 2023.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, 177 of Jeffrey Epstein’s high-profile associates are in for a New Year’s surprise as they will be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024.

The material is related to a defamation case brought by Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts (now Giuffre) in New York against Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre released a statement on X taunting those about to be exposed on the “naughty list.”

Jeffrey Epstein’s secret friend list: Judge’s order to reveal nearly 200 names holds the clues – including a ‘widely publicized’ associate of the pedophile financier and Ghislaine Maxwell

Nearly 200 names that had previously been redacted from a long-settled sex trafficking suit against Jeffrey Epstein‘s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell will soon be made public, a judge has ruled.

The 51-page order was issued on December 18, and will unmask 184 John and Jane Does who had some sort of ties to the late sex pest.

Its release has been highly anticipated, as many had alleged they were being withheld from the public eye after the lawsuit was settled out of court in 2017.

Republicans in Congress have since fought for its release – including the names of powerful friends and acquaintances of the financier who flew on his private jet.

Maxwell, 62, has since been sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking as part of a separate criminal case. In the settled filing, Virginia Giuffre accused her of helping Epstein traffic her as a minor, and named influential figures allegedly involved.

One of them was Prince Andrew, while others who had gone unnamed until now. A total of 15 were accused of ‘serious wrongdoing,’ while 90 are described as having been ‘affiliated’ with Epstein in some way.

While the fully unsealed document is still a few days away, many – including former President Bill Clinton – had been previously known through other means, according to ABC News.

Numerous others – including other well-known public figures and Hollywood stars – are now set to be unmasked, thanks US District Judge Loretta Preska’s ruling.
