People have been anxiously asking who are the “names” in the Jeffrey Epstein files, but the interest of British leaders has grown exponentially since the U.S. Department of Justice released their content this week. Most people know that Prince Andrew’s downfall is cemented to his ties to the pedophiliac financier, but other names that are linked to Epstein are concerning, primarily that of Peter Mandelson, a prominent Labour Party politician who recently resigned as U.K. Ambassador to the United States. His resignation has some now calling for the scalp of Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Guy Davies is an ABC News reporter based in London; he appeared on 710 WOR’s Mendte in the Morning program to explain why the contents of the Epstein files have a lot of people nervous in the upper echelons of the British government.
Davies told host Larry Mendte that there are two areas of concern in the file for the British hierarchy: “One is, there seems to be new evidence that a new woman has come forward who suggests that she was flown to the UK, and potentially at a royal residence, for sexual reasons. One of the lawyers in the U.S. has made that allegation. And secondly, when Andrew was a trade envoy to Asia… [it appears that] he was sent a key trade document that, minutes after, that was forwarded on to Jeffrey Epstein. Now, this was in 2010, well after Jeffrey Epstein’s conviction in the U.S., and Andrew has kind of denied that they had this kind of close relationship after that happened; well, this would seem to suggest otherwise.”
Davies made it clear that the UK’s leaders are all nervous about who and what else is linked to Epstein: “In terms of how far this scandal is reaching, this isn’t just two individuals. Everyone is asking who knew what and when; that includes the prime minister and his team, but particularly the royal family. This is going to be a problem.”
