Episode notes
Mandelson Led Away Over Epstein Emails
- Peter Mandelson was arrested outside a Camden address and taken to a London police station on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
- Mark Stone links the arrest to emails in the Epstein file that allegedly show Mandelson forwarded sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein.
