UK police open investigation into former ambassador Peter Mandelson over Jeffrey Epstein links

British police have opened a criminal investigation into politician Peter Mandelson over alleged misconduct related to his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump bemoans destroyed reputations from Epstein files in first public comments since DOJ release

President Donald Trump bemoaned on Monday the potential reputational damage inflicted on people who appear in photos released as part of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which he insisted were only made public because of an effort to distract from his accomplishments. The comments mark the first time Trump has addressed the files since his Justice Department released hundreds of thousands of them on Friday pursuant to a new law compelling them to do so.
