Peter Mandelson, the former UK ambassador to the US, has said he has "no recollection" of receiving the sums of money mentioned in the latest Epstein files, and said he does "not know if the documents are authentic".
The statement comes the day after more than 3 million pages of documents were released by the US Justice Department in its latest Epstein disclosure, along with over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.
The documents showed that Epstein wired thousands of pounds after Peter Mandelson’s husband asked him to pay for his osteopathy course fees.
The exchanges are between Epstein and Reinaldo Avila da Silva, Mandelson’s husband, about covering the fee for him to attend the British School of Osteopathy.
“I have no record and no recollection of receiving these sums and do not know if the documents are authentic," Mandelson said on Sunday.
