Mandelson summoned to testify in US Congress Epstein investigation
Lord Mandelson faces US congressional questioning over $75,000 from Epstein; UK police probe possible government information leaks to Epstein's network.
- On Friday, House Democrats wrote to Lord Peter Mandelson requesting a transcribed interview and set a response deadline of February 27, as they believe he may hold `critical information` on Epstein's co-conspirators.
- Files allege Epstein paid Lord Peter Mandelson about $75,000 and his husband �10,000 while Mandelson served as business secretary, with allegations of confidential leaks.
- Committee proceedings included Maxwell's video appearance and reports that witnesses faced threats, while files show a photo of the peer in Epstein's Paris flat taken in his flat.

- Lord Mandelson has repeatedly denied knowing about Epstein's crimes, insisting he has `absolutely no recollection or records of receiving` the money, while the committee's witness list remains high-profile with the Clintons due to testify later this month.
