UK will release files about Mandelson's ambassador appointment as anger mounts over Epstein

The British government has agreed to release emails and documents related to Peter Mandelson's appointment as ambassador to the U.S. despite his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. It comes as Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces mounting anger over his judgment in giving Mandelson the job. Critics argue Mandelson should never have been appointed due to his known relationship with Epstein. Facing a vote in Parliament on releasing the documents, the government said it will publish the information unless it threatens national security or international relations. Mandelson was fired in September after emails showed he maintained a friendship with Epstein post-conviction. He resigned from the House of Lords and faces a police investigation for alleged misconduct.
