Government To Release More Mandelson Documents

LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 01: Reinaldo Avila da Silva, husband of Peter Mandelson, leaves their London home on June 01, 2026 in London, England. The government is set to release another tranche of files relating to Peter Mandelson's appointment as British ambassador to the U.S, after it was revealed the UK Foreign Office overruled his failed security vetting clearance before he took up the post. The finding poses questions about Prime Minister Keir Starmer's appointment of Mandelson. In February, Mandelson was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly leaking confidential government information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
