Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender known for his elite social circle. In 2019, he killed himself in jail before his trial for sex-trafficking charges, which prosecutors said involved underage girls. Epstein's social network over the years included prominent politicians and celebrities, including US Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, and Britain's Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew.

A separate tranche of emails between Mandelson and Epstein surfaced in the days that followed, redoubling calls for his ouster, the BBC reports. Driving the news: "In light of additional information in emails written by Peter Mandelson, the Prime Minister has asked the foreign secretary to withdraw him as ambassador to the United States," Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty said in a statement in the House of Commons Thursday.
