2 Feb 2026

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Following allegations that Peter Mandelson leaked confidential Downing Street documents to Jeffrey Epstein, Ed Davey MP, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, said:

"The Epstein files suggest Peter Mandelson leaked sensitive government information to a convicted sex offender while serving as a minister, and even suggested a US bank should threaten the Government to lower its tax bill.

“These allegations are incredibly serious, it is now only right that the police investigate Peter Mandelson for potential misconduct in public office."
