UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer recalled Peter Mandelson just hours after the contents of previously undisclosed emails cast new light on his relationship to the pedophile financier.
The correspondence was among a trove of over 18,000 messages we obtained from Epstein’s personal Yahoo account. We used multiple methods to verify their authenticity, including cryptographic analysis, metadata analysis and corroboration with external sources.
