U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was warned of the reputational risk in appointing Peter Mandelson as U.S. ambassador due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, according to documents released Wednesday by the British government. The 147-page report lays out Mandelson's ties to Epstein, as well as unrelated financial issues.
Mandelson was arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He denies any wrongdoing and has not been charged.
Starmer on Thursday said "it was me that made the mistake" in appointing Mandelson to be U.S. ambassador.
Meantime, in Washington, Epstein's longtime accountant Richard Kahn told lawmakers on Wednesday that he was "not aware" of the nature of Epstein's abuse until after his death.
That's according to opening remarks obtained by reporters ahead of a closed-door deposition by the House Oversight Committee. Kahn remains an executor of Epstein's estate and denies any wrongdoing.
