Peter Mandelson breaks cover for first time since Epstein scandal

Peter Mandelson has been seen for the first time since the latest scandal into his long-term friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein broke. The former British ambassador to the US, who is facing a police probe into allegations he passed market sensitive information to Epstein, was pictured outside his London home. He was carrying a large dog in his arms and was photographed getting into a car that was parked by his front door. Mandelson has not been seen in public since the publication of the latest tranche of Epstein files on January 30, which have led to a series of extraordinary revelations about the former cabinet minister.
