British politician Peter Mandelson quits House of Lords, could face police investigation over Epstein ties

LONDON (AP) — British politician Peter Mandelson is quitting the House of Lords as he faces new questions, and a potential police investigation, over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Speaker of the Lords, Michael Forsyth, said Mandelson has informed officials he will retire from Parliament's upper chamber effective Wednesday.

The announcement came as the British government prepared legislation to eject Mandelson from the Lords and remove the noble title, Lord Mandelson, that came with his seat in the chamber. Mandelson will retain the title after he retires unless lawmakers pass legislation to strip it from him — something that has not been done for more than a century.

The government also said it had sent a file of material to police who are looking into allegations that Mandelson passed sensitive government information to the disgraced financier.

So if one person had to resign of Epstein then how about Trump doing the same?


100% internet story.

D. Trump hit a 13 year girl in the face as he was forcing her to give him a blow job.

Remember all those anti blow job shits about Bill Clinton? Talk to me Lindsey Graham.
