UK Fires US Ambassador Over Epstein Email Scandal
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has sacked the UK's ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandelson, due to his ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The decision was made on September 11.
Mandelson wrote an email to Epstein in 2008, saying he "thinks the world of" him and expressed outrage over Epstein's situation. Photos also emerged showing Mandelson at Epstein's home, wearing a bathrobe. Additionally, a birthday message revealed Mandelson referred to Epstein as his "best pal."
The British Foreign Office confirmed that emails show Mandelson's close relationship with Epstein, which has sparked widespread criticism.
This sudden move comes after years of controversy surrounding Epstein's connections to high-profile figures. The UK government is under pressure to address the scandal and its implications for international diplomacy.
As the situation unfolds, it remains unclear what other consequences may arise from this decision. This is a developing story, with further updates expected in the coming hours.
