'I wish I'd never met him': Peter Mandelson 'regrets' association with Jeffrey Epstein

  • Peter Mandelson, the UK's ambassador to the US since December 2024, publicly expressed regret over his association with Jeffrey Epstein in 2025.
  • Mandelson's association with Epstein, a convicted sex trafficker who died in custody in 2019 before his trial could take place, originated from introductions by Ghislaine Maxwell and was documented through several meetings detailed in a 2019 JPMorgan report.
  • The report and media coverage disclosed that Mandelson stayed at Epstein’s Manhattan apartment in 2009 while Epstein served an 18-month sentence for procuring a minor for prostitution.
  • Mandelson stated, “I regret ever meeting him” and wished he had never met Epstein, adding, “He was a prolific networker” and expressing sorrow for the harm caused to young women.
  • While Mandelson denies wrongdoing and details remain unchallenged, survivors of Epstein’s abuse publicly criticized his ambassadorial appointment as insensitive and an insult to victims.
