US EditionReed: Mandelson should testify to Congress over Epstein if he has information
Housing Secretary Steve Reed demands Lord Peter Mandelson testify to US Congress amid new documents showing possible Epstein payments and images, urging transparency for victims' sake.
- Housing Secretary Steve Reed urged Lord Peter Mandelson to testify before US Congress if he has information, linking the demand to this week's US Department of Justice release and calling for all evidence to aid justice for Jeffrey Epstein's victims.
- Bank statements first reported by the Financial Times appear to show three $25,000 payments referencing Lord Mandelson between 2003 and 2004 and a $10,000 transfer to his partner in 2009.
- Mandelson has said he cannot place the location or the woman in redacted images, and doubts the authenticity of bank documents naming 'BEN' and three $25,000 payments.
- Reed said that Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should give evidence to help understand the files, with the SNP proposing to strip Mandelson's peerage, which requires an act of parliament.
- Being named or pictured in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing, and officials emphasise Mandelson should testify if he has relevant information, as the US House Oversight Committee may call witnesses.
