Epstein Files: The Arrests Have Begun
- A Radical Dispatch
1) The Prince & Dark Prince Arrested
i) The Dark Prince
Advisor to three British Prime Ministers, former British ambassador to Washington DC, known as ‘the Prince of Darkness’, and Epstein-friend Lord Peter Mandelson has been arrested by London’s Metropolitan police.
The Times reports 24th February 2026:
“Sir Keir Starmer faces questions about his political judgment in appointing Mandelson as ambassador despite knowing about Mandelson’s links to Epstein. The prime minister has said that Mandelson misled him about the extent of their friendship. Mandelson was arrested only days before a by-election in Gorton & Denton, in Manchester, that is considered crucial for Labour.”
Our regulars would have known that this day was coming since at least two year ago, despite the huge political cover up.
Radical Media reports 11th January 2024:
The implications of this arrest on British politics cannot be overstated. And the questions it raises about how and why Mandelson was permitted to reign in the shadows of British politics for so long should make all in Westminster pause for thought.
Sky News reports 23rd February 2026:

Deputy Political Editor for Sky News, Sam Coates: “…no doubt about it Mark this is a seismic moment not only for Peter Mandelson but for British politics as a whole. Six months ago the man that you can see in the pictures was the British ambassador to Washington. One of the maybe half dozen most powerful figures in this country, personally appointed by Keir Starmer against elements even of his own better judgment persuaded of it, we believe, by his then chief of staff Morgan Mcsweeney, because he was thought to be the only who could bridge the divide with Donald Trump’s White House after the US president returned to the White House for the second time. Peter Mandelson, believed to be the only person who could help Britain and sort out its trading and relationship with the US at this tricky time, today being taken away, as you can see, by police. Peter Mandelson has denied any wrongdoing, but I suspect there will be a lot of focus on those emails that we heard so much about, emails from the last time Gordon Brown was in the British government, when Peter Mandelson was in the British government, when Gordon Brown was Prime Minister, Peter Mandelson, then business secretary, alleged to have forwarded emails, that’s what the Epstein emails suggested, forwarded emails to Jeffrey Epstein, potentially containing confidential government material. The allegation that he tipped off Jeffrey Epstein about an impending EU bailout, and that he notified the financier about the activities of the British government and gave advice to big US bankers to mildly threaten the then UK Chancellor, the late Alistair Darling. All of those things likely to come under scrutiny. Peter Mandelson, not a figure shy of controversy, forced to resign from the British government twice when Tony Blair was prime minister. Once over a home loan scandal, once over his relationship with the Hinduja brothers. But this challenge facing Lord Mandelson is now of a different order with the police now, Metropolitan police now arresting him. It will go I think, the political ramifications of this will go to the very heart of Downing Street. Because once again, the focus will be on Keir Starmer’s decision to appoint somebody with a track record as checkered as Peter Mandelson’s politically, with those two resignations in knowledge that there was a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein that went after his conviction for relations with miners back in 2009. A relationship that possibly involved taking hospitality from Jeffrey Epstein in the early 2010s. All of that was known to Keir Starmer at the moment that he appointed him, the British ambassador, to Washington. The question that Labour MPs will and are asking is why take such a risk? Is it really the case that Peter Mandelson was the only person who could solve the conundrum of the UK relationship with Washington, particularly given that there was a talented incumbent in Karen Pierce already occupying that office. But she ended up being hurried out of the British residency in Washington to make way for peace to Mandelson because he was seen by Keir Starmer and his then chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, as the only answer to the political question that Donald Trump’s second presidency posed. And yet that has turned out to look like a political misjudgment by the prime minister, who will now, like the rest of us, be watching these pictures.”
Mandelson’s arrest was not over the allegations of sexual abuse surrounding Epstein, but instead over specific concerns of revealing confidential government information to Epstein.
Proffering confidential information is often the result of being blackmailed or otherwise compromised, and the concern will be not only over the leaks themselves, but why Mandelson seemed so beholden to a known convicted sex offender. What leverage did Epstein have over Mandelson?
The Times of London has helpfully summarised the specific allegations that emerged from the recent US Department of Justice (DOJ) email releases.
The Times reports 23rd February 2026:
i) The first concern is Mandelson providing Epstein with advanced knowledge of the sale of some very large UK state assets.
ii) Mandelson also appears to have passed Epstein plans of a Eurozone bailout by the EU.
iii) In one particularly egregious exchange, Mandelson suggests to Epstein that the head of JP Morgan bank, Jamie Dimon (who, as of reporting, remains in position!) ‘mildly threaten’ the British Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Remaining oblivious as to the true story behind the threat, the late chancellor Alastair Darling subsequently confirmed in his own memoirs that this had actually happened.
iv) Leaking private emails is also a potential concern in any misconduct charge.
Mandelson’s provision of the above privileged information seems to have been rewarded by Epstein in the form of large cash payments.
The above leaves Mandelson with much to answer for. No wonder people are complaining that his actions amounted to treason.
The Daily Mail reports 22nd February 2026:
“A Cabinet minister insisted ‘all options’ are on the table today as a senior MP urged Parliament to launch a treason probe into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s links to Jeffrey Epstein. Bridget Phillipson said the Government is ready to do ‘whatever it takes’, but stressed action must wait until the police finish investigating. The comments came after former security minister Tom Tugendhat said a special committee of MPs, peers and retired judges should look into the implications for the state. He said the issues go ‘beyond what a court could reasonably consider’ - suggesting the inquiry should be able to summon witnesses and demand evidence. Dai Davies, a former head of Scotland Yard’s Royal Protection Command, has told the Mirror an independent inquiry led by a judge is needed.’”
So serious are the concerns that the Metropolitan police rushed to arrest Mandelson ahead of schedule, over a tip off provided by the Speaker of the House of Commons that he was planning to flee the country. In a spectacular turn of events, the police then appear to have released the identity of the Lord Speaker to Peter Mandelson, only then having to apologise for what they say was a mistake.
The Times reports 25th Feberuary 2026:
“Scotland Yard has apologised to the Commons Speaker for telling Lord Mandelson that he was the source of a claim that the peer planned to flee Britain for the British Virgin Islands. Officers were due to meet Sir Lindsay Hoyle in person on Wednesday afternoon and said sorry for the disclosure, which represents a significant breach of protocol. On Wednesday evening Scotland Yard issued a public apology to Hoyle for disclosing that he was the source of the claims. A spokesman said: ‘The Met has apologised to the Speaker of the House of Commons this afternoon for inadvertently revealing information during an investigation into allegations of misconduct in public office.’ Hoyle visited the British overseas territory and tax haven during recess last week. He was informed by a local source that the former ambassador planned to go to the islands — an allegation that Mandelson has denied as ‘complete fiction’.”
ii) The Prince, Andrew
Prince of Darkness, Lord Mandelson’s arrest was preceded by (now former) Prince Andrew’s arrest. And like Mandelson, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was also arrested for ‘misconduct in public office’.
The Guardian reports 19th February 2026:
“Andrew served as a UK trade envoy between 2001 and 2011. In this role he travelled globally and was given privileged access to senior government and business contacts around the world. In 2010, he appears to have forwarded government reports from visits to Vietnam, Singapore and China to Epstein, according to the recently published files.
The emails indicate that on 7 October 2010, Andrew appeared to send Epstein details of his official forthcoming trips as trade envoy to Singapore, Vietnam, Shenzhen in China and Hong Kong, where he was accompanied by business associates of Epstein. After the trip, on 30 November, he appeared to have forwarded official reports of those visits sent by his then special assistant, Amit Patel, to Epstein, five minutes after receiving them. The documents also appeared to show that Andrew forwarded Epstein information on investment opportunities in gold and uranium in Afghanistan. A briefing, prepared for Andrew by UK officials when he was a trade envoy and reported by the BBC, was said to have been forwarded to Epstein in December 2010 and includes a list of ‘high-value commercial opportunities’ in Helmand province. Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial or political information about their official visits. Being named in the Epstein files is not an indication of misconduct. Andrew has previously denied any wrongdoing in his associations with Epstein and rejected any suggestion he used his time as trade envoy to further his own interests.”
Both Lord Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were arrested under the English common law offence of ‘misconduct in public office’ which carries a maximum life sentence.
The Guardian reports 19th February 2026:
The family of Andrew accuser, the late Virgina Giuffre have welcomed this news.
The Independent reports 24th February 2026:
“The family of Virginia Giuffre has praised British authorities for ‘treating the Epstein files with the urgency they demand’ following the arrest of Lord Peter Mandelson on suspicion of misconduct in public office….In a statement reported by the BBC and other outlets, Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, and his wife, Amanda Roberts, said: ‘As Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s family, we commend the British authorities for taking meaningful action and treating the Epstein files with the urgency they demand. While these arrests aren’t for the underlying exploitation, they are a crucial step toward truth and accountability. The contrast with the continued inaction in the United States is undeniable. Survivors deserve transparency, swift investigation, and real justice, no matter who is implicated’.”
2) Norwegian PM Arrested
The arrests were not restricted to the UK. In Norway, the former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland has been charged with ‘gross corruption’ over his ties with Epstein.
The BBC reports 12th February 2026:
“Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland has been charged with ‘gross corruption’ over his ties with the US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, police have said. The charge was brought after the Council of Europe lifted Jagland’s immunity, which he enjoyed because of his past diplomatic role…Emails released by the US government are thought to show that Jagland planned solo and family visits to Epstein’s homes in Paris, New York and Palm Beach after the billionaire was convicted of a child sex offence…As well as serving as prime minister from 1996 to 1997, Jagland is also a former head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee and spent a decade as secretary general of the Council of Europe….The Nordic country has seen several public figures drawn into the widening scandal, including Crown Princess Mette-Marit, diplomats Mona Juul and Terje Rød-Larsen, and chief executive of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Borge Brende.”
It is reported that he subsequently attempted to take his own life.
In last week’s Radical Dispatch we dedicated an entire section to Norway, warning that attention should be paid to why Trump was so focused on the Nobel peace prize.
It appears that this same man - Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland - who chaired the Nobel committee when they awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama for doing absolutely nothing, was beholden to Epstein and a regular visitor to his Island.
After the Norwegian prime minister’s arrest, we returned to the theme this week.
Click to play:
Maajid Nawaz for the WARRIOR CREED livestream: “The charge was brought after the Council of Europe lifted Jagland’s immunity, which he enjoyed because of his past diplomatic role. Emails released by the U.S. government are thought to show that Jagland planned solo and family visits to Epstein’s home in Paris, New York and Palm Beach, after the billionaire was convicted of a child sex offence. As well as serving as prime minister from 1996 to 1997, Jagland is also former head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Now, that is an important point piece of information considering what President Trump subsequently revealed about the way that the Nobel Prize was awarded. So we’re just going to show you that one more time and read it again. As you can see there, the bold line near the bottom of the paragraph. ‘Jaglan is also a former head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee and spent a decade as Secretary General of the Council of Europe’. With all this going on in Norway, we said, consider again Trump’s recent letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister stating his complaint about Norway having unfairly blocked him from receiving a Nobel Prize. There’s Trump’s letter. And then we’ve said couple this Norway news with the below revelation about Epstein, Norway and the Nobel Peace Prize. And in retrospect, Trump doesn’t seem quite so crazy anymore now, does he? And that’s because on your screens, you can see an email. Again, Zero Hedge: ‘the man who shockingly awarded the newly elected Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, and who was chair of the Nobel Committee from 2009 to 2015, was an Epstein Ireland regular’. That is the Norwegian prime minister who’s now been charged and is rumoured to have subsequently attempted to take his own life. President Trump was correct again in singling out Norway and saying that they were corrupt. And it’s all now being revealed.”
Here is the section from last week’s Dispatch.
Radical Media reports 12th February 2026:
3) Thousands More British Documents Will Be Released
If those implicated in this scandal breathed relief when the DOJ announced that their email disclosures were over, then what happened yesterday in Parliament will not bring any such comfort. Thousands of more British documents are now set to be released in March. Inconveniently for PM Starmer, this is in the two month lead period to local elections in the UK.
The Telegraph reports 24th February 2024:
This follows an intervention by the leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Ed Davey, making use of a specific protocol known as a ‘humble address’ to parliament.
Click to play:
Liberal Democrat leader, Ed Davey: “In many ways this is first the first truly global scandal, from the White House in Silicon Valley to Oslo and Paris. But it’s also a deeply British scandal reaching right to the top of the British establishment. Because can there be many people more symbolic of the rot that eats away at the British establishment than the former Duke of York and Special Trade Envoy and the former Business Secretary, First Secretary of State and Ambassador to the United States? Their association with Epstein and their actions on his behalf while trusted with the privilege of public office are a stain on our country. Today we must begin to clean away that stain with the disinfectant of transparency, because whether it is the president of the united states and his commerce secretary or Peter Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor or Epstein himself, their victims and survivors have seen those responsible evade accountability and escape justice for far too long. I hope, I desperately hope that is ending now, and I hope the House will approve this motion.”
The demand is for the government to release all documents related to the former prince Andrew’s appointment as UK trade envoy, and any role that Mandelson may have had in this decision.
Sky News reports 24th February 2026:
Click to play:
Deputy Political Editor for Sky News, Sam Coates: “…as if another mass disclosure of hundreds or thousands of papers is on its way. This is the Liberal Democrats using a bit of the time that they get to control Parliament, their opposition day motion today, and they will specifically ask for correspondence from Mandelson regarding the Andrew appointment. Essentially what the Lib Dems want to do is work out ties between the two friends of Jeffrey Epstein, Mandelson and Andrew, because it is thought that Mandelson lobbied for Andrew’s appointment as a trade envoy. So getting that into the open, I think is Ed Davies’ aim. So will it work? Well, I was messaging one pretty key member of the government last night about it all, about whether Labour could withstand such disclosure. And they just said, look, if I’m honest, I don’t see how the hell anyone would vote against it. So it doesn’t sound like the government are going to try and block it. It doesn’t sound like they would have the numbers to stop it. So it sounds as if another mass disclosure of hundreds or thousands of papers is on its way….”
Early on, it was known that the motion was unlikely to fail.
Sky News reports 24th February 2026:

Sky News broadcaster: “…haven’t we, about the Lib Dems trying to get this ‘humble address’ in Parliament, where they want the government to be forced to potentially release information around the vetting and the kind of thinking behind hiring Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, as Trade Envoy….Now, this is really significant because actually, the last time we had this type of a fight with a ‘humble address’, it was a conservative ‘humble address’, that was the debate around releasing the details of the hiring and the vetting and the due diligence when Peter Mandelson was hired as UK ambassador to the US. And now the Lib Dems have done something slightly similar but very specifically around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his appointment as a trade envoy a long time ago, 2001 to 2011….And of course, it doesn’t break with convention, although it normally would with a member of the royal family, because Andrew has been stripped of his titles. He’s no longer a senior working royal. And therefore, actually, MPs are able to debate Andrew in the Commons in a way that they wouldn’t be able to debate other members of the royal family. Now, Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House of Commons, has been very, very clear. when it comes to this ‘humble address’ that we now know the government is not going to oppose. MPs have to be incredibly careful about what they say to make sure they do not prejudice the police investigation that is potentially ongoing. We don’t know how long it’s going to last into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and, of course, now into Peter Mandelson, both arrested in the past few days. But nonetheless, the fact that the government is not opposing this, I think, is significant and shows that actually they understand the appetite, not only among the public, but also among MPs, to really scrutinise the hiring of these men.”
Ultimately, the government chose not to oppose the motion, for obvious reasons.
Click to play:
Chris Bryant MP: “But let me be clear from the outset, we support this motion today. Frankly, it is the least we owe the victims of the horrific abuse that was perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein and others. The abuse that was enabled, aided and abetted by a very extensive group of arrogant, entitled and often very wealthy individuals in this country and elsewhere. It’s not just the people who participated in the abuse. It’s the many, many more who turned a blind eye out of greed, familiarity or deference. To my mind, they too were complicit, just as complicit. And I welcome the reckoning that is coming to them now. I doubt there is anyone in this House who is not shocked and appalled by the recent allegations. Colleagues and many civil servants have told me their own stories of their interactions with Mr Mountbatten-Windsor and they all betray the same pattern. A man on a constant self-aggrandising and self-enriching hustle. A rude, arrogant and entitled man who could not distinguish between the public interest which he said he served, and his own private interest.”
As expected, the motion passed.
The Times reports 24th February 2026:
“The release of government files covering Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s appointment as trade envoy may reveal new details of Lord Mandelson’s attempt to influence the process….In April 2001, Mandelson contacted The Times to make the case for Andrew getting the job, saying that he was ‘well qualified’... As a result of the Liberal Democrats’ humble address — a parliamentary procedure that is a communication to the monarch from either the Commons or the Lords — on Tuesday, officials must now also look for links between Mandelson and Andrew’s appointment as envoy. They must also release any correspondence from Mandelson to relevant government departments or people relating to the appointment. The documents will also be expected to cover contact between Buckingham Palace, ministers and officials over Andrew’s appointment. It has previously been reported that Charles, then Prince of Wales, had reservations about his brother’s appointment, believing that Andrew would use the job to further his own interests. He is said to have been overruled by Queen Elizabeth, who wanted to find a meaningful role for Andrew after he left the navy.”
Starmer’s government will now need to brace for further impact.
Keep watching.
4) Starmer is Next
The Epstein scandal is not going away anytime soon. In fact, it will only grow more troublesome for Starmer as elections approach this May. The scandal is very likely to eventually bring him down. The only question is when.
Questions around why Starmer appointed Mandelson despite knowing of his Epstein links continue to be posed. Particular interest has arisen around Starmer’s historic role in the cover up of sexual abuse crimes while Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Our regulars will be aware of Starmer’s role in the failure to prosecute Britain’s most notorious pedophile, the late Sir Jimmy Savile.
Radical Media reports 5th February 2026
This week it has been revealed that Starmer was letting pedophiles off with mere written warnings while he was Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
The Express reports 22nd February 2026:
In addition, the role that Starmer’s (now resigned) chief of staff Morgan McSweeney played in structuring the post-Corbyn Labour party in Mandelson’s (hence Epstein’s) image, will come under increased scrutiny.
The Guardian reports 23rd February 2026:
“Keir Starmer has opened a formal investigation into a Cabinet Office minister involved in falsely accusing journalists of having links to pro-Russian propaganda…Simons is under growing pressure about his commissioning of an American PR company, Apco, to examine the ‘sourcing, funding and origin’ behind a November 2023 story published by the Sunday Times that raised questions about £730,000 in undeclared donations to Labour Together. He has in recent days claimed he was disturbed to find the Apco report had delved into unnecessary information about one of the story’s journalists. But the emails show how, weeks after receiving the report, he was involved in naming the same journalist in an email to security officials.”
As we outlined in last week’s Dispatch, Mandelson had trained McSweeney in the secret ‘Excalibur’ database which held compromising information on Labour politicians in order to keep them in line. They also commissioned research against any journalist that questioned them.
Radical Media reports 12th February 2026:
All of this is about to fall on Starmer’s head. Keep watching.
5) The Clintons Are Next Too
Whereas in the UK, the two princes have been arrested, and Prime Minister Starmer is clearly in the crosshairs next, in the US there are yet to be any arrests even though there have been multiple high profile resignations.
The Clintons are well and truly in the crosshairs next. Thursday February 26th (today) is the reported date that Hillary Clinton is due to testify to Congress over her links top Epstein. Bill Clinton is reportedly due to testify the day after.
Click to play:
Maajid Nawaz for the WARRIOR CREED livestream: ”According to Insider Paper Online, the dates that Bill and Hillary Clinton are to testify on Epstein, and that is the 26th of February, Hillary Clinton. 27th of February, Bill Clinton. That’s coming up, folks. Today’s the 24th of February. So in two days, Hillary Clinton is due to testify. And then the day after that, Bill Clinton is due to testify in Congress. And that’s why we said a long time ago, we said in the Radical Dispatch: ‘Hey, Clintons, you’re next’. They are going to come under fire, just as in the UK, the two princes came under fire, and indeed Keir Starmer is in the spotlight to be next as well. And that’s because of this political cartoon, which really does articulate the problem fairly and accurately. Not one single person, it says, you can see that there on your screens right there, not one single person who paid to rape children on Epstein’s island has been arrested.”
The Times reports 3rd February 2026:
“The former president Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary have agreed to testify in person before Congress as part of its investigation into the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. They gave an eleventh-hour offer to appear before the oversight committee after the House prepared to vote to hold them in contempt. The Clintons had for months refused to testify, describing the subpoena by the committee’s Republican chairman as ‘invalid and legally unenforceable’.”
As of the time of reporting, the Clintons’ testimonies appear to remain on schedule, though will not be aired live. Rather, they will reportedly be released at a later, unspecified date.
The Times reports 25th February 2026:
“Bill and Hillary Clinton are about to begin two days of sworn testimony to Congress about their relationship with the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. The former Democratic president and his wife will undergo questioning by the House oversight committee, starting with Hillary on Thursday and followed by Bill on Friday. Republicans are likely to interrogate the pair about the images of Bill reclining in a hot tub next to an unidentified person and sitting with his arm around a woman, photographs that garnered intense scrutiny when the files were released last December….The sessions will not be broadcast live and the Clintons’ deposition will be recorded at a performing arts centre close to their New York home. The footage will be released at a later date.”
The Times again helpfully lists the areas that Congress may wish to explore with the Clintons.
The Times reports 25th February 2026:
i) New photographs and emails
ii) Bill Clinton’s multiple trips on Epstein’s private jet
iii) The Clintons’ relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell
iv) Epstein’s funding link to the Clinton Foundation
As we already said last November…
Radical Media reports 20th November 2025:
6) Searchable databases to identify Epstein-clients
Merely appearing on Epstein’s island, in one of his mansions, or elsewhere with him, is not conclusive proof of guilt. Such evidence does require corroboration.
Radical Media advises corroborating any name suspected of being an Epstein client or collaborator, against a robust check list of Epstein related activity.
We have provided searchable databases to serve as check lists. These include databases for searchable emails, searchable trial records, searchable flight logs, and two of Epstein’s searchable address books, among other points of reference. All of this is listed below for our premium subscribers…
