I feel a tremendous sense, a profound sense of sympathy for those people, those women, who suffer as a result of his behavior and his illegal criminal activities, Mandelson said. And secondly, I regret very, very deeply indeed, carrying on that association with him for far longer than I should have done. Mandelson insisted during the interview that he never witnessed any wrongdoing during trips with Epstein, including on the billionaire's private jet.
House Oversight Democrats/XHouse Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) in a statement accompanying the release of Epstein documents that the convicted sex offender's estate turned over to the panel criticized Democrats for "cherry-picking documents and politicizing" the information.
