Epstein Gave Mandelson illegal Drugs And Xanax,/ Botox, Emails Reveal Explosive emails from the so-called Epstein files suggest convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein supplied illegal drugs and arranged cosmetic treatments for senior Labour figure Peter Mandelson while he was serving in government. The messages, revealed in newly surfaced correspondence, show Mandelson asking Epstein for medication believed to include the sedative Xanax, a controlled drug in both the UK and the US. The exchanges took place while Epstein was under house arrest following his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. In one message, Mandelson asked Epstein: “One triangle or two??” — an apparent reference to the triangular shape of certain Xanax tablets. In another email he asked how he would obtain more “triangles” after running out. At one point Mandelson wrote: “Triangles are all very well but you need someone to use them on…”, according to the correspondence. Botox appointment arrangedSeparate emails show Epstein offering to arrange cosmetic injections during Mandelson’s visit to New York in March 2010, when he was serving as business secretary in the government of Gordon Brown. In an exchange ahead of the trip, Epstein asked whether Mandelson wanted treatment, writing: “Wed face and neck?” The Labour peer responded by asking: “Do you think I should?”, to which Epstein replied: “Botox first step.” The procedure was reportedly discussed during Mandelson’s visit to Epstein while the financier remained under house arrest. Medication requestsThe emails also show Mandelson asking Epstein for supplies of Niaspan, a prescription drug used to treat cholesterol. Epstein told him to take the medication daily and suggested consulting a doctor for a formal prescription. In another exchange Mandelson discussed taking Dosulepin, an antidepressant no longer commonly prescribed because of safety concerns. The correspondence indicates Mandelson frequently sought Epstein’s advice about medication, even asking him when to take pills while travelling across time zones. Pressure over ambassador roleThe revelations are expected to intensify political pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who appointed Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to the United States despite longstanding controversy surrounding his association with Epstein. Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp called the allegations “jaw-dropping” and urged police to investigate. “If Mandelson was being provided with restricted drugs and cosmetic treatments by Epstein while serving in government, the authorities should look into this immediately,” Philp said. Mandelson has previously admitted his relationship with Epstein was a “terrible mistake” and described the friendship as a case of “misplaced loyalty”. Earlier links with Epstein circleSeparate testimony from former Epstein employee Christine Kenneally has also resurfaced, claiming she was once asked to provide massages to Mandelson and Prince Andrew during a visit to Martha's Vineyard in 1999. Kenneally said both men behaved as “perfect gentlemen” and that nothing inappropriate occurred. Lawyers representing Mandelson declined to comment on the latest claims. SOURCE
