Mandelson Appeared to Leak Government Information to Epstein

[lostincalifornia]

Documents released by the Department of Justice appear to show that Peter Mandelson leaked sensitive government information to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a minister.

The files suggest Mandelson emailed Epstein about the European Union’s rescue facility for struggling member states, telling him the deal should “be announced tonight.” The emails are dated May 9, 2010. On May 10, European policymakers announced a €500 billion ($590 billion) loan plan, sending the euro on its biggest rally in two years.

The documents also show that Mandelson forwarded internal Downing Street emails about tax policy proposals to Epstein while a member of former prime minister Gordon Brown’s cabinet in 2009, appending the comment: “Interesting note that’s gone to the PM.”

The private memo was drafted by a senior adviser in Brown’s office on June 13 that year — the same day Mandelson shared it. The note proposed tax incentives to encourage private sector investment after the financial crisis, as well as the possibility of making £20 billion ($27 billion) of asset sales to reduce government debt.

1. For one thing, sure sounds like the kind of thing that could've been used for insider trading purposes

And for another, it seems peculiar that the UK would send a man with Epstein ties to be the ambassador to the US during the early part of Trump's 2nd term. At minimum, it's a strange coincidence.
