Co-host of The News Agents podcast Emily Maitlis joins Shelagh Fogarty to discuss the Met Police’s investigation into Peter Mandelson’s links to Jeffrey Epstein.
PM Keir Starmer is said to have handed over a dossier Mandelson to the Met after it emerged he seemingly shared confidential government information with the infamous paedophile.
Emily Maitlis calls the alleged ‘leak’ one of the ‘biggest political corruption scandals of our lifetime’.
Continuing, she says the information released in the Epstein Files is ‘beyond anyone’s imagination’, as emails reveal the former Business Secretary passed on sensitive market information to Epstein during the financial crash.
Also touching on a possible police investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Maitlis tells Shelagh Fogarty that it’s ‘about time’.
Peter Mandelson has announced he is stepping down from the House of Lords, a day after he resigned from the Labour Party.
