New documents released in the Jeffrey Epstein case revealed payments made to accounts linked to Lord Mandelson, while a five-year-old boy and his father detained by ICE returned to Minnesota after their release. The documents, part of a large release of nearly three million pages related to the late sex offender, also shed light on the relationships between Epstein and several prominent figures who had previously distanced themselves from him.
Bank statements released by the U.S. Department of Justice indicated that Epstein made three separate payments of £25,000 (approximately $75,000) to accounts connected to Lord Mandelson between 2003 and 2004, according to BBC News. Lord Mandelson stated that he had no record or recollection of receiving the sums and questioned the authenticity of the documents. He reiterated his regret for "ever having known Epstein" and for continuing his association with him, BBC News reported.
The release of these documents, the largest since a law mandated their release last year, underscored the depth of some individuals' connections to Epstein, despite their attempts to downplay those relationships after his 2019 arrest and death by suicide in a Manhattan jail, according to The New York Times. The documents revealed details of business dealings, social gatherings, and private jet travel that some individuals had previously minimized.
Meanwhile, in Minnesota, five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, returned home after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Congressman Joaquin Castro of Texas announced their release from the Dilley detention center in Texas and their subsequent travel back to Minneapolis on Sunday, BBC News reported. "Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack," Castro said. The detainment of the pair sparked protests outside the detention facility, drawing national attention.
