Rep. Subramanyam, Oversight Ranking Member Garcia Demand Lord Mandelson Answer Questions on Jeffrey Epstein

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Representatives Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) and Robert Garcia (CA-42), Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, wrote to Lord Peter Mandelson, the former British Ambassador to the U.S., to request that he submit to questioning by the Oversight Committee as part of the ongoing probe into Jeffrey Epstein, his accomplices, and enablers.

The members said, "While you no longer serve as British Ambassador to the United States and have stepped down from the House of Lords, it is clear that you possessed extensive social and business ties to Jeffrey Epstein and hold critical information pertaining to our investigation of Epstein's operations. Given the appalling allegations regarding Epstein's conduct, we request that you make yourself available for a transcribed interview with Committee staff regarding the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators."

In the letter, the members point out several instances where Lord Mandelson was photographed or mentioned in the 3.5 million files that have been released. These files include Mandelson messaging Epstein with insider information hours before European governments announced a 500-billion-euro deal, and Epstein transferring sizable sums of money to Mandelson and his partner.

Reps. Subramanyam and Garcia made a similar request of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor last year.
