REPORT: UK Prime Minister Claims Officials Hid Former Ambassador’s Epstein Ties From Him

The British Prime Minister’s office reportedly claims that officials within the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office withheld critical information about former ambassador Peter Mandelson.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggests his own government failed to inform him that Mandelson received security clearance despite concerns raised during the vetting process, including concerns tied to his security vetting and alleged connections involving Jeffrey Epstein, according to SkyNews’ Political Editor Beth Rigby. Officials now say neither Starmer nor Foreign Secretary David Lammy knew that Mandelson’s clearance allegedly went against the recommendation of U.K. security vetting authorities.

The scrutiny was toward senior civil servants inside the Foreign Office—particularly Olly Robbins, the department’s top official. Rigby posted that Starmer had already been asking internal questions about the vetting process in recent days, especially after The Guardian reported the story. Despite those inquiries, officials allegedly failed to disclose that Mandelson’s clearance had been granted despite objections from vetting authorities.

On March 16, Rigby said she pressed Starmer on Mandelson’s appointment, and he responded that “due process was followed” while acknowledging system weaknesses, calling the outcome “my mistake,” and issuing an apology. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s office, now says officials withheld key vetting details from Starmer, including that Mandelson received security clearance despite concerns, even as he addressed Parliament, according to The Guardian’s political editor Pippa Crerar.

Is This Deported Model the Reason Melania Distanced Herself From Epstein?

On Thursday afternoon, First Lady Melania Trump addressed the nation in a six-minute-long speech.

“The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility, and respect,” she began. She went on to deliver a meandering account, distancing herself from the convicted sex offender.

At 9 p.m. Wednesday, prior to Melania’s speech, an account that appears to belong to Amanda Ungaro, a Brazilian former model who resided in the United States for 23 years prior to being deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in June 2025, posted a message to former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Are you already aware of the situation?” she wrote. “Do you fully understand the extent of the information I possess regarding you and the individuals associated with you? I strongly advise you to consider the seriousness of these matters. Any actions taken against me or attempts to escalate this situation could have significant legal consequences,” Ungaro continued.

“I expect this to be handled with the appropriate level of responsibility and professionalism moving forward.” The post was accompanied by four photos, including what appears to be a young Ungaro holding a baby. [The X Post has since been removed.]

Melania Suddenly Breaks Silence on Epstein Scandal — Denies Ties to Maxwell Despite Email Evidence

First Lady Melania Trump stunned Washington on Thursday with a rare and forceful public statement addressing lingering questions about her past proximity to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — while also calling for sweeping public hearings into his network of associates.

Speaking from the White House, Melania flatly denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes and moved to distance herself from his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, despite resurfaced evidence showing the two once had limited social contact.

“I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump,” she said, adding that while their social circles occasionally overlapped in places like New York and Palm Beach, she “never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice.”

Her remarks come amid renewed scrutiny of Epstein-related records, including a 2002 email exchange between Melania and Maxwell that was recently made public. In the message, Melania sent a friendly note referencing a magazine story about Epstein and suggesting they connect in New York.

Addressing the email directly, Melania dismissed it as insignificant. “My reply cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence,” she said, calling it a “trivial note” that did not reflect any deeper relationship.

Still, the resurfacing of that exchange has reignited interest in the extent of her past proximity to Maxwell — a woman widely described as a central figure in Epstein’s criminal enterprise. At the time, both moved in overlapping elite social circles, where interactions among high-profile figures were not uncommon.

Melania emphasized she had no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse and never visited his private island or traveled on his plane — two key points that have been central to allegations involving other figures linked to the case.

“I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do,” she said.

In a surprising twist, the first lady went further, urging Congress to hold public hearings featuring victims in order to expose those connected to Epstein’s crimes — a move that could put renewed pressure on political and social elites.

The call is notable given that her husband, Donald Trump, previously downplayed renewed attention on the Epstein case, at times framing it as politically motivated. Trump and Epstein were known to have socialized in the past before reportedly falling out in the early 2000s.

Melania’s decision to address the issue so directly — and publicly — has fueled speculation that more revelations could be forthcoming. Whether her remarks were preemptive or simply an effort to draw a clear line between herself and the scandal remains unclear.

What is certain is that her statement has once again pulled the Epstein saga — and the powerful figures who once orbited it — back into the spotlight.

Iran War, Epstein Files Causing Male Voters to Abandon Trump: Support has Cratered by an Astonishing 20 Points

During Wednesday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly pointed to fresh polling analysis from CNN senior data analyst Harry Enten, who said Trump’s approval among men has swung sharply negative since November, with the steepest declines among men under 45 and men under 25. Kelly argued the numbers pose a serious political risk for Trump and Republicans ahead of the midterms.

“Trump won in 2024 because of men. They are abandoning him right now,” Enten said on Tuesday.

According to CNN’s analysis of multiple national polls, Trump won male voters by 13 points in the 2024 presidential election. That advantage has since flipped. Enten said Trump is now seven points underwater in net approval among men overall—a roughly 20‑point swing in just over a year.

The movement is even more pronounced among younger men. Enten reported that Trump carried men under the age of 45 by five points in 2024 but now holds a net approval rating of -9 with that group. Men under 25 show a similar collapse, shifting from backing Trump in the election to registering a net approval of minus 19 in recent polling.

Reacting to the data, Kelly said the figures suggest “the coalition Trump relied on is no longer as solid as it looked on Election Day,” warning sustained losses among young men could reverberate across battleground districts in the midterms.

Forbes’ Annual World’s Billionaires List is Full of Jeffrey Epstein’s Cronies — Here’s Who’s in the Files

Forbes released its 40th annual World’s Billionaires List, and it’s a who’s who of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Since the Department of Justice began releasing records related to the late pedophile on Dec. 19, the rich and famous linked to Epstein have been resigning and publicly apologizing in droves.

Dozens of names on the new 3,428-person Forbes list also came up in the Epstein files, some more than others.

Bill Gates – ranked the 19th richest person in the world with $108 billion — is chief among them. . .

Steve Tisch, chairman of the New York Giants and ranked 1,193rd richest in the world with a $2.2 billion fortune, exchanged several eyebrow-raising emails with the sex predator. . .

Virgin founder Richard Branson — 1,504th on the Forbes list with $2.8 billion — lives on a private island in the British Virgin Islands a short 20-minute helicopter ride from Epstein’s “pedo island,” and gushed in emails about Russian girls Epstein brought him.

Hackers Who Breached FBI Epstein Files Were So Disturbed by the Evidence They Threatened to Report It to the FBI

A strange cybersecurity incident involving files connected to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has come to light after newly released U.S. Justice Department records revealed that hackers once infiltrated an FBI server — only to threaten to report the breach to the FBI themselves.

According to documents and reporting reviewed by Reuters, a hacker gained access on Feb. 12, 2023, to a server inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s New York Field Office. The system was connected to the bureau’s Child Exploitation Forensic Lab, which stores digital evidence used in investigations involving child exploitation cases, including material related to Epstein.

The intrusion reportedly occurred after a system used for handling digital evidence was left vulnerable while being configured for remote access by FBI Special Agent Aaron Spivack. The breach was discovered the following day when Spivack logged into his workstation and found a message indicating the network had been compromised.

Logs also showed suspicious internet activity and evidence that someone had browsed files tied to the Epstein investigation.

In a bizarre twist, the intruder apparently did not realize the system belonged to the FBI at first. After encountering files containing evidence from child exploitation investigations, the hacker left a note saying they were disturbed by what they had found and threatened to report the server’s owner to federal authorities.

FBI personnel later contacted the hacker through a video call and showed official credentials to confirm that the system was, in fact, operated by law enforcement.
Investigators still have not identified the individual responsible for the intrusion, though officials believe it was likely carried out by a foreign cybercriminal rather than a government-backed intelligence service.

Authorities have not disclosed exactly which Epstein-related files were accessed, copied or potentially lost during the breach.

Spivack later documented the incident in internal reports and said he believed he was being made a “scapegoat” for the security lapse. He reportedly blamed confusing internal IT procedures and unclear guidance for leaving the system exposed. The results of the FBI’s internal investigation into the breach have not been made public.

Joe Rogan Has Knock-Down, Drag-Out Fight With Michael Shellenberger Over Whether Epstein Was Murdered

Podcast host Joe Rogan sparred with journalist Michael Shellenberger over the likelihood that deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in prison during a Tuesday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

Tova Noel, one of Epstein’s prison guards, searched for information on him on Google just minutes before he was discovered deceased and made a strange $5,000 deposit ten days prior to his death, according to Department of Justice records, the New York Post reported on Saturday. Rogan cited the new information on his podcast among other details that made him believe Epstein likely was killed, but Shellenberger was unconvinced, leading to nearly 15 minutes of back-and-forth.

“Epstein’s brother’s examiner said that he broke his hyoid bone and the hyoid bone is not usually broken in hangings, only in strangulations,” Shellenberger said. “Actually, it is broken in hangings, particularly for older people.”

“But it was broken in three places,” Rogan responded. “And it’s low on his neck.”

Shellenberger dismissed Rogan’s pushback. The host then brought up the revelations in the DOJ documents on Noel, which Shellenberger also dismissed. (Read more from “Joe Rogan Has Knock-Down, Drag-Out Fight With Michael Shellenberger Over Whether Epstein Was Murdered” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein Guard Googled Him Less Than An Hour Before Death

By TMZ. A correctional officer working in the wing where Jeffrey Epstein was incarcerated the night he died searched his case on the internet less than an hour before his death … this according to Department of Justice records.

Tova Noel — a former guard at Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Lower Manhattan, New York City — did a couple Google searches about Epstein’s case on August 10, 2019 around 5:43 AM. The convicted pedophile was found dead around 6:30 AM.

Noel searched “latest on Epstein in jail” and clicked on an article about documents related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, her newly released search history reveals.

Worth noting … Epstein wasn’t the only inmate who drew Noel’s interest — after looking up Epstein, she searched for the latest info on Omar Amanat. (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein Guard Googled Him Less Than An Hour Before Death” HERE)

Epstein autopsy doctor explains hesitation to declare his death a suicide

By Raw Story. A newly released transcript reveals new details about the autopsy conducted after Jeffrey Epstein’s death and the decision to declare he had killed himself.

The convicted sex offender was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell Aug. 10, 2019, while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, and Business Insider reported new details about the findings by Kristin Roman, who conducted an autopsy the following day for the New York City medical examiner’s office, and Michael Baden, a forensic pathologist hired as an observer by Epstein’s estate and brother Mark Epstein.

“After examining Jeffrey Epstein’s corpse, Baden was convinced he died by homicide,” Insider reported. “Roman was less sure. On Epstein’s death certificate, she did not check the boxes for ‘homicide’ or ‘suicide’ and instead checked the box for “pending studies.”

Roman’s boss Barbara Sampson, the chief medical examiner of New York City, ruled five days later that Epstein had died by suicide after what she described as a “careful review of all investigative information.” Roman’s initial hesitation, combined with Baden’s conclusion, has fueled conspiracy theories for years.

“The world did not learn that Roman agreed with her office’s findings until nearly four years later, when the Justice Department inspector general’s office released its report into Epstein’s death,” Insider reported. “Even then, the reasoning behind her ruling — and the delay — was not made clear. Until now.” (Read more from “Epstein autopsy doctor explains hesitation to declare his death a suicide” HERE)

Congress Votes to Summon Attorney General Bondi in Epstein Case

A congressional committee has voted to summon US Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The motion to subpoena Bondi was introduced by Nancy Mace, a Republican lawmaker, who accused the justice department of a “cover-up”. . .

“The Epstein case is one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. His global sex trafficking network is larger than what is being revealed,” Mace wrote on social media. . . 

On Wednesday, five Republicans, including Mace, and Representatives Lauren Boebert, Tim Burchett, Michael Cloud and Scott Perry, joined Democrats on the House Oversight committee to vote in favour of the subpoena or legal summons.

“Three million documents have been released, and we still don’t have the full truth,” Mace wrote. “Videos are missing. Audio is missing. Logs are missing. There are millions more documents out there.” (Read more from “Congress Votes to Summon Attorney General Bondi in Epstein Case” HERE)
