"An investigation into alleged misconduct in public office is under way and it is vital due process is followed, so that our criminal investigation and any potential prosecution is not compromised. As part of our enquiries, we will review material identified and provided to us by the Cabinet Office to assess whether publication is likely to have a detrimental impact on our investigation or any subsequent prosecution."
"We will work alongside the Cabinet Office to review relevant documents over the weeks ahead. The process to decide which documents should ultimately be published remains a matter for government and parliament. As we have stated previously, this investigation may be complex but we are focused on a timely and thorough process so that justice is served in this case or future ones linked to the Epstein files."
Health Secretary We Streeting published messages exchanged with Peter Mandelson after sending them to Sky News and the Guardian to counter accusations of closeness. Streeting said he only communicated one-to-one with Mandelson a few times since 2024. The messages included criticism of Rachel Reeves and expressed worries that the Labour party is "toast." The Metropolitan Police warned that publishing those messages risks compromising an investigation into whether Mandelson breached laws over misconduct in public office. A Met spokesman said due process must be followed, investigators will review material provided by the Cabinet Office, and the police will work with the Cabinet Office while respecting parliamentary roles.
