Trump Denies Knowing Peter Mandelson
In a surprising turn of events, Peter Mandelson, the former British Ambassador to the USA, has been dismissed from his position by the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, due to his connections with the disgraced pedophile financier, Jeffrey Epstein.
The news of Mandelson's sacking came a week ago, following leaked emails that revealed Mandelson had sent effusive support to Epstein the day before Epstein began his 2008 prison sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
During Mandelson's eight months in office, the U.S. and the U.K. agreed on a limited trade deal. However, it was during this time that Mandelson also built links with Trump allies and even spoke at length in the Oval Office in May.
The press conference between the U.S. President, Donald Trump, and Keir Starmer took place on Thursday. Trump was asked if he sympathized with Mandelson over his sacking. Trump replied that he does not know Mandelson.
Trump's past closeness to Epstein has been a subject of intense scrutiny, with allegations that he contributed to a 2003 'birthday book' in Epstein's honor. However, the White House denies the authenticity of his alleged note in the book.
Despite the controversy, Mandelson is not the only one who has faced questions about his relationship with Epstein. Trump has been accused of contributing to the pedophile financier's lifestyle, but he has consistently denied these allegations.
Starmer has been embroiled in a row over what his team knew, and when they knew it, about Mandelson's connection to Epstein. Mandelson's actions, including offering a deal on a Rolls Royce during his time in office, have led to his sacking.
In a surprising twist, during his meeting with Mandelson in the Oval Office last week, Trump commented on Mandelson's accent, saying 'I'd like to have that accent.'
This news serves as a reminder of the ongoing investigations into the relationships between powerful figures and disgraced individuals, and the impact such connections can have on public figures and their careers.
