Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein maintained what appears to have been a close, personal friendship spanning at least from the early 2000s into the late 2010s. Mandelson — a high-profile British politician who served under multiple governments and later was named UK Ambassador to the United States — was linked to Epstein via numerous communications, personal visits, and favors. In a “birthday book” compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday (2003), Mandelson reportedly described Epstein as “my best pal.” Over the years, it’s now documented that Epstein paid for some of Mandelson’s travel, and the two flew on Epstein’s private plane. In internal documents from a major bank, Epstein’s relationship with Mandelson is described as “particularly close.” At times when Epstein was under legal pressure — including after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor — Mandelson wrote to him with warm, supportive words, encouraged Epstein to “fight for early release,” and expressed belief in him.
The deep intimacy of their connection — especially given Epstein’s crimes — has triggered intense scrutiny and major consequences. In 2025, as newly released emails and letters exposed the extent of their correspondence and the warmth of Mandelson’s support, his government role became untenable: he was swiftly dismissed from his post as ambassador. Mandelson has since expressed “deep regret” for having maintained the association and called Epstein a “charismatic criminal liar,” stating that he “fell for his lies.” Nevertheless, critics argue that the volume and nature of the contact — including intervention attempts on Epstein’s behalf — raise serious ethical and moral questions. The revelation forces a reckoning: how many key global-power figures maintained — and possibly enabled — ties to a known predator, and why did they continue long after his crimes became public?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein chronicles.
Jeffrey Epstein had plenty of powerful friends, and not all
of them resided in the United States of America. He
also had very powerful friends in the UK, and one
of those powerful friends was Peter Mandelssohn. Peter Mandelssohn was
(00:21):
an ex politician in the UK. He was the Labor
Cabinet Minister, and according to Epstein's schedule, Mandelsshn was penned
in at least four times. And not only that, he
also allegedly had a sleepover at Epstein's townhouse after Ebstein
was already convicted as a sex offender. So just another
(00:44):
shining example of another elected official who thinks it's a
good idea to hang out with a pedophile. Today's article
is from the Daily Mail headline Peter Mandelssh had four
dates scheduled in the diary to see Jeffrey Epstein sure
the tycoons jail term. This article was authored by Daniel Bates.
(01:06):
Peter Mandelsson was scheduled to have four meetings with Jeffrey
Epstein after the tycoon you mean pedophile served time in
prison for having sex with underage girls. The Pedophile's private
calendars reveal that the ex Labor Cabinet minister was due
to meet the financier Pedophile between twenty ten and twenty
(01:26):
and thirteen, even though he was a registered sex offender.
The diaries even suggest Lord Mandelsson stayed at his sixty
three million pound New York mansion in twenty twelve. All
of these grown ass men having sleepovers? Is that not
weird to you? Fellas? How many of you out there
are having sleepovers at the Homies house now that you're
(01:49):
in your thirties and your forties whatever. I'm sure not
many of you, unless, of course you're out, you're drunk
something like that. Okay, I get it. Nobody wants to
drive drunk, nobody who has a brain in their head.
But besides that, why is a grown man staying the
night at another grown man's house? Can somebody please explain
that behavior to me? The Mail on Sunday can also
(02:10):
reveal that Prince Andrew was so comfortable in Epstein's home
he invited a close friend over for tea. The calendars
were revealed as part of hundreds of documents handed over
by the Epstein estate during an investigation by the government
of the US Virgin Islands where he had a private island.
Well private for the rest of the world, maybe not
(02:33):
private for these disgusting assholes who were hanging out with them.
That island was legitimately Disney World for pedophiles. They shed
light on the network of associates cultivated by Epstein, who
hanged himself in twenty nineteen while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.
The disgraced billionaire pedophile was jailed for thirteen months in
(02:54):
June of two thousand and eight for soliciting a minor
for prostitution as part of a sweetheart plea deal. After
leaving jail, Epstein had to register as a sex offender
and was subject to a twelve month house arrest, which
expired in July of twenty ten. We all know that
that wasn't a real house arrest. He was out working allegedly. Really,
(03:17):
what he was doing was committing more crimes, and the
record shows it. While he was out on house arrest
and under the management of Palm Beach, this dude was
still bringing girls to his office. There were still girls
coming to the house, and he was under the management
at the time of the Palm Beach County Probation office,
(03:37):
and then to find out that they lost all that
paperwork documenting Epstein's time on probation is almost too much
to stomach. But it fits right in with all the
other stuff that we have seen throughout this entire case,
missing videos, chain of custody being ignored, stash of videotapes gone.
(03:58):
So where did all of this evidence go, Who's in
possession of it and why has it not been acted on?
Despite this, Lord Mandelsson, a former EU Commissioner for Trade,
appears to have met Epstein several times. Lord Mandelsson declined
to confirm if the meetings had taken place, but other
figures who appear on the documents have said their get
(04:19):
togethers did go ahead. At the time, the Peer was
out of public office but being tipped to lead the
IMF or the World Trade Organization. All of these groups,
these bodies that people point to all the time, like
the World Trade Organization, the IMF, the UN, all of
these organizations are suffering from a severe amount of corruption.
(04:43):
Every time you turn around, there's a new scandal with
the UN or the IMF or one of these groups.
They talk about, how you know they're here to help people,
and they're going to help poor countries or whatever. But
instead what we hear are reports of people that are
part of these un teams end up raping people, molesting people,
(05:03):
and doing way more harm than they do good. So
it doesn't shock me for a second that they'd be
in bed with Jeffrey Epstein. We already know that, and
stories like this coming to the forefront they just reconfirm
what folks like us already knew, and that is all
of these people who were hanging out with Epstein, all
of them were sick degenerates who knew what he was
(05:26):
and willingly chose to dance to the tune that he
was playing. The first two meetings were listed for Epstein's
New York townhouse on March first and March third of
twenty ten, when he was still under house arrest. The
March first entry says Lord Mandelsson was due at seven
thirty pm, while Benjamin Wegg Prosser, referred to as Peter's friend,
(05:49):
was due to arrive at one pm. And when you
look at all of the people, as far as people
in the UK politicians and other powerful people that are
connected to Epstein, is it any wonder that Scotland Yard
decided not to pursue this case the way they should have.
Who are they trying to protect? No different than over
here when you have certain folks in certain positions protecting
(06:13):
people like Epstein say things happening over in the UK
because this degeneracy, what you think, it starts and stops
here in America? Of course, not the rich, the powerful,
those in charge. This is how they roll. They show
us every single day who they are. The question is
when are people going to start paying attention. Mister wegg
(06:34):
Prosser was Lord Mandelsson's assistant and was previously Tony Blair's
director of strategic Communications. He now works at Global Council,
Lord Mandelson's consulting company as a managing director. An entry
for May twenty eighth, twenty twelve said Peter Mandelsson to
arrive in the evening from Shelter Island. Will he stay
(06:55):
at the house. Shelter Island is an island in the Hamptons,
the millionaire's playground east of New York. The entry for Wednesday,
May thirtieth reads Peter Mandelssohn possibly leaves today if meeting
organized for Boston. Otherwise, the parts Thursday for DC. So
this guy, Peter Mandelssohn obviously has enough money. He could
(07:16):
stay wherever he wants, the Waldorf, Astoria, Hilton, whatever you
want to do. But no, I'm gonna stay at this
convicted pedophiles house. And then I'm gonna get mad when
people ask me questions about my relationship with said pedophile.
And then I'm gonna get mad anytime anyone asked me
a question about my relationship with Epstein. I mean, these
(07:37):
people are just bizarre. They really truly think that they
can just control the narrative and the stuff that we know,
the stuff that has been outed about them, that they
can just put it all back in that little box.
But they can't. We all know what we know now,
and it's time for these people to finally be held
to account and at the very least, at the very
(07:58):
least answer some questions. And until they start putting people
under oath with some skin in the game, then we're
never gonna get any real answers from any of these
people who are around Jeffrey Epstein. Why would they answer,
Why would they open their mouths if they're not compelled
to do so. It's only going to make it worse
for them, right, And that's why so many people that
(08:19):
have been connected to Jeffrey Epstein just keep their head down,
ignore the story, and act like nothing is happening. And
they're able to do that, unfortunately, because the legacy media
refuses to challenge these people about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
And then the legacy media has the audacity to call
people conspiracy theorists when they won't even set the record straight.
(08:41):
So they set the stage for there to be all
of these conspiracy theories and fertile ground for them to grow,
and then they cry when it happens. Here's an idea,
Tell the truth about what happened here, and you won't
have to worry about conspiracy theories because the real truth,
the actual truth of what occurred, is so good and
disgusting you don't need a conspiracy theory to be mad
(09:04):
about it. All you have to do is look at
the real facts and the people who were with this
dude committing these crimes. And it becomes very apparent why
the legacy media has had a pretty much hands off
approach until Alexander Acosta's name popped up with the story.
The final entry is for April fourth, twenty fourteen, and
is a dinner with Mandelssohn, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Brock,
(09:28):
investor Mord Zuckerman and Jess Day, the former head of
JP Morgan, who has been accused of abusing Epstein's survivors.
Previous reports have shown photos of Lord Mandelsson on Epstein's
island in two thousand and five and at his birthday
in two thousand and six, but the diaries are the
first suggestions of meetings after his prison sentence. Mister wegg
(09:52):
Presser said I had the misfortune to meet Epstein on
one occasion. It was a short meeting of no consequence
and thanks flee was never repeated. Meanwhile, The Mail on
Sunday has learned that Prince Andrew invited family friend Kathleen
Keating forty one, daughter of former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating,
(10:13):
to Epstein's mansion. We saw the pictures. We already knew
that he was photographed peering around the door of the
disgraced billionaire's home Pedophile on December sixth, twenty ten, as
he waved goodbye to her. One source said Andrew told
Emily Maitliss in his Newsnight interview, he went to New
York to sever his ties with Epstein, So it seems
(10:33):
counterintuitive he would feel comfortable enough to invite an old
family friend over for tea. You have to wonder what
was he thinking. He wasn't thinking about anything besides the
fact that he felt untouchable. I'm the Prince of England
and I'm with mister Jeffrey Epstein, who is being protected
by Lord knows who, So why would he feel anything
(10:53):
but comfortable? And now that all of this comes back
and boomerangs to hit Joe Exotic of the Windsor family
directly in the face, is anyone surprised? I'm not. How
long have I been telling you about this shit. We
have been talking about this for years now, and the
fact that the legacy media is talking about it like
it's just dripping out now is absolutely absurd. But if
(11:17):
it gets more people interested in what's going on here
and more people demanding accountability, I say better late than never,
All right, folks, that's gonna do it for this one.
