Mandelson should never have been ambassador, says Epstein victim's family

The family of Virginia Giuffre, who became the most prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein, has told the BBC that Lord Mandelson should never have been given the position of UK ambassador to the United States.

In an exclusive interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Sky Roberts, Virginia's brother said, "absolutely not, he should never have been given the position in the first place.

"It speaks to how deep the corruption goes in our systems. Whether that's linked to the UK, US or abroad."

There is no suggestion that Lord Mandelson ever met Giuffre. He said last week, that "perhaps as a gay man", he never sought or was offered introductions to women from Epstein.
