Emails Expose Epstein's Illegal Drug and Botox Supply to Peter Mandelson
Recently disclosed emails between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Mandelson have surfaced, suggesting the convicted sex offender supplied illegal drugs and arranged cosmetic procedures for the Labour grandee. According to reports from the Mail on Sunday, these communications reveal a troubling relationship that persisted even after Epstein's criminal conviction.
Illegal Medication Discussions in Detail
The emails, released by the US Department of Justice, include exchanges where Mandelson and Epstein discuss "triangles," a nickname for the anti-anxiety pill Xanax, which is a Class C controlled substance in the UK and regulated in the US due to addiction risks. In one message from December 2009, Epstein asks Mandelson, "feeling bettter [sic]?" to which Mandelson, then serving as the UK's business secretary, responds, "How will I get more triangles ?!"
Epstein later replies, "london when?" indicating plans for a supply. At this time, Epstein was under house arrest after serving 13 months of an 18-month sentence for procuring an underage girl for prostitution.
Further Medical Requests and Cosmetic Procedures
In another email, Mandelson requests "more niaspan," a prescription drug for cholesterol, and adds, "And triangles are all very well but you need someone to use them on…" This comment has raised eyebrows, given Epstein's history of providing Xanax to victims like Virginia Giuffre, who previously criticized doctors for prescribing it to young women.
Additionally, the files show the two men organizing a cosmetic procedure for Mandelson ahead of an official trip to New York. Epstein writes, "right now i am planning to see you on the eve of the 2nd..do you need me on the third?" Mandelson responds, "Always need you…have an official dinner on 3rd then fly back. What about the injections??" Epstein suggests "face and neck" treatments on a Wednesday, with Mandelson asking, "Do you think I should ??" and Epstein advising, "botox first step."
Political Repercussions and Ongoing Scrutiny
Mandelson's links to Epstein have resurfaced in headlines recently, coinciding with the government's release of files related to his appointment as British ambassador to the US. A new image has also emerged, showing Mandelson, Epstein, and former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor together for the first time, fueling further controversy.
Lawyers for Peter Mandelson have been contacted for comment, but no response has been provided yet. This scandal adds to a series of political embarrassments, with Keir Starmer apologizing to Epstein's victims and acknowledging Mandelson as a mistake.
The revelations underscore the deep entanglements between high-profile figures and convicted criminals, prompting calls for greater transparency and accountability in political circles.
