Lord Mandelson resigns from Labour Party over Epstein Links

In early February 2026, the Department of Justice (DOJ) accidentally released the unredacted names and identifying information of numerous Jeffrey Epstein victims. The data breach occurred during the public release of over 3 million pages of investigative files related to the late sex offender.

Key Details of the Incident
  • Scale of Exposure: A Wall Street Journal analysis found the full names of at least 43 victims unredacted, including more than two dozen minor victims. Some names appeared over 100 times in the documents.
  • Sensitive Data Leaked: Beyond names, the files reportedly included home addresses, medical records, and unredacted images, some of which depicted victims' faces or sensitive settings.
  • Lawyers' Reaction: Attorneys representing over 200 survivors characterized the leak as "the single most egregious violation of victim privacy in one day in US history". They demanded that the DOJ immediately take down the entire 3-million-page repository.
  • DOJ Response: The Department of Justice temporarily removed thousands of documents to correct "technical or human errors" in the redaction process. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the agency is working "around the clock" to rectify errors as they are reported.
They can't "rectify" the errors. Once something is on the internet, it can't be taken back.

The documents released have been heavily redacted "to protect the victims." So who exactly are the "victims" they're protecting since they're obviously not the underaged girls who were trafficked.
You can't unring a bell, but I wonder if any of the rich and famous will ever pay the price for their actions. Even if they do jail a few more the harm done to the ones violated will be with them to the end. I kind of like the slogan "Lock'em" up in this case.
 
You're right concerning the young girls and as an aside - -we do have 3 beautiful daughters and their ages are (no laughing now) 70. 68. and 62. There's also a son in his 60's but he doesn't count in this discussion.:)
And I have a delightful 3 yo great granddaughter. May she never meet sex predators, male or female in her whole lifetime. The phrase "love of money is the root of all evil" is ringing in my head as I write this. It is found in 1 Timothy 6:10.

And as if that isn't bad enough. What a bunch of morons.

I have not read all of the comments here, so I hope I am not repeating my thoughts about this.

Anyhow, I have often wondered about the Mothers and Fathers of all these underage girls.
Where were they? Where are they now?

As a parent, I cannot imagine letting my daughter ( or son ) going away like this to do what and where?? Did they receive $$$ to let their child travel to this awful situation with out any real information? Why has no one that I have heard of brought this up publicly?

Did they question any of this before allowing them to go.
I cannot understand this.

I think that they bear responsibility as well.
 
I heard about Ghislaine Maxwell: someone who had only recently met her and was starting to be suspicious about what was going on said something to her like, "Geez, these girls are awfully young, aren't they?" And supposedly Maxwell replied, "Oh, I don't give a sh*t about those girls! They're all just trash."

Well, if they weren't trash, sounds like you did your best to turn them into trash, sis.
 
A spokesperson for Scotland Yard said: 'Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

'He was arrested at an address in Camden on Monday, 23 February and has been taken to a London police station for interview.

'This follows search warrants at two addresses in the Wiltshire and Camden areas.'

It came after police raided his homes in London and Wiltshire a fortnight ago.



He had been spotted at both addresses in recent days, after a period of lying low in London following the release of the second batch of the Epstein files.

Lord Mandelson's arrest comes days after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was taken into custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

He was released on Thursday evening after 12 hours in custody. The former Duke of York has previously denied any wrongdoing.

The Metropolitan Police earlier this month launched an investigation following allegations that Lord Mandelson sent market-sensitive information to Epstein while he was business secretary in Gordon Brown's government during the financial crisis.

Scotland Yard said its probe into Lord Mandelson over alleged misconduct in public office would 'take some time' after officers finished searching his homes in London and Wiltshire.

Lord Mandelson has denied the Epstein files show he broke any laws or acted for personal gain. He has repeatedly said he regrets his friendship with Epstein.

It comes after MPs were told the first tranche of documents related to Lord Mandelson's appointment as the US ambassador is expected to be released within weeks.

Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones told the Commons that the first release demanded by MPs on February 4 would happen 'very shortly in early March'.

Documents released in the US Epstein Files showed he leaked information to the billionaire child abuser while he was a government minister during the Blair era.

That led to calls for details of how he came to be made the UK's top official in Washington last year to be made public.

However, shadow Cabinet Office minister Mike Wood criticised the delay, saying it would mean a month or so had passed since a so-called 'humble address' was passed by MPs - including Labour - to force the government to act.

'That is not a polite suggestion, it is a formal commend from parliament to the executive,' he said.

'Three weeks later the government's progress moves with the urgency of a tired sloth on a Bank Holiday Monday.'

Lord Mandelson earlier this month bowed to public pressure and resigned his seat in the House of Lords.

His former lobbying business collapsed into administration last Friday after an exodus of clients following revelations about his links to Jeffrey Epstein.

A bit late in my view, but better late than never. Hopefully they'll get on to Bliar and Brown soon, as the pair of them need to be locked up for treason!
