Police Search Homes Linked to Peter Mandelson in Epstein Probe as Starmer Rejects Calls to Resign

Overview

• Metropolitan Police executed search warrants at addresses in Wiltshire and Camden linked to the 72-year-old, and no arrest was made.
• The inquiry examines potential misconduct in public office based on emails, photos and records within a U.S. Justice Department release exceeding 3 million pages.
• Documents detail friendly exchanges and about $75,000 in payments to accounts linked to Mandelson in 2003–04, plus an alleged 2009 economic report shared with Epstein.
• Mandelson has resigned from the House of Lords and left the Labour Party, saying he does not recall receiving payments and declining comment on the leak claims.
• Keir Starmer apologized for appointing Mandelson and refused to quit as the government submitted a dossier to police and prepared legislation to remove his title.
