A US congressional panel has released what appears to be Jeffrey Epstein’s contact book and another page of his “birthday book”, reigniting a political firestorm over the late paedophile’s ties to Donald Trump.
The documents from Epstein’s estate were among a new batch of disclosures from the House oversight committee on Tuesday, just as the US president arrived in London, where UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer last week sacked Lord Peter Mandelson as British ambassador to Washington over his friendship with Epstein.
The documents offered limited new insights about Epstein’s ties to Trump, Mandelson or other figures, including former president Bill Clinton, who have faced growing criticism over their links to the disgraced financier.
