UK PM said he made the wrong decision when he made Epstein’s friend the ambassador but that he was unaware Mandelson failed security checks
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged Monday that he made the wrong judgment when he appointed Jeffrey Epstein’s friend Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to Washington but said he would not have done so if he had known Mandelson had failed security checks.
Starmer’s explanation was greeted with jeers from opposition lawmakers, incredulous that the nation’s leader had not known such a crucial piece of information.
“I know many members across the House will find these facts to be incredible,” Starmer said. “To that, I can only say they are right. It beggars belief.”
