Jeffrey Epstein

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have accused US First Lady Melania Trump of trying to “protect those in power,” after her surprise statement last night at the White House.

It’s clear from the deluge of emails in the Epstein files that from politicians to princes, Jeffrey Epstein held extraordinary influence over those in positions of power in Britain.

Despite the Trump administration’s claims, the Epstein scandal is not over because victims have not received justice and most of the files have not been released, writes Kiran Moodley.

Footage, obtained and verified by Channel 4 News, appears to show the disgraced billionaire paedophile recording himself with potential victims on what may have been a hidden camera.

“The party and I owe him a debt of gratitude”. That was Sir Keir Starmer’s response to the departure of Morgan McSweeney, his trusted chief of staff and the man credited with steering Labour to victory in the general election. 

The downfall of Morgan McSweeney all stems from the Epstein files, with lawmakers in America still trying to get answers about how the rich and powerful acted and got away with large scale child abuse.  

What impact will Morgan McSweeney’s resignation have on Sir Keir Starmer’s political future?

Former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said that Sir Keir Starmer is in a ‘serious’ situation due to the fallout from his appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador. 

Jeffrey Epstein’s connections with this country extended far beyond Lord Mandelson or Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. 

We were joined by Lord Beamish, a Labour peer and chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament, which now has a key role in the release of material related to Peter Mandelson.

We were joined by Labour MPs Clive Efford, who recently helped re-launch the tribune group of soft-left MPs, and John McDonnell, who was Shadow Chancellor under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.

We are joined by senior political correspondent Paul McNamara in Westminster.

He betrayed his country, his parliament and his party, Prime Minister Keir Starmer told MPs, insisting he regretted appointing Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US.

We spoke to Jena Lisa Jones, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse. She was just 14-years-old when Epstein assaulted her during a massage at his house in Palm Beach.

He’s accused of leaking market sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein while he was Business Secretary in 2009 – now Peter Mandelson faces a police investigation on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
