"Peter Mandelson has been urged to answer questions as part of a US Congress investigation into paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

They added Lord Mandelson holds "critical information" linked to their investigation to Epstein's operations."
Two Democratic members of the US House Oversight Committee asked Peter Mandelson to make himself available for a transcribed interview about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The letter states Mandelson possessed extensive social and business ties to Epstein and holds critical information relevant to the committee's probe of Epstein's operations. The committee seeks cooperation to uncover the identities of Epstein's co-conspirators and enablers and to understand the full extent of his criminal operations. Mandelson has expressed regret for his continued association with Epstein and apologised to the women and girls who suffered. The committee cannot compel his appearance and set a response deadline of 27 February.
