# Lord Mandelson Arrested: Here Are the 76 Documents We Already Had
*Peter Mandelson was arrested in Camden today on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The charge: passing market-sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as UK Business Secretary. We had the receipts before the handcuffs.*
What We Have
76 documents in our index of 329,474 DOJ Epstein files. Direct emails. JPMorgan internal reports. Chinese banking forum invitations. Election night gossip. And Epstein coaching Mandelson on how to make their emails legally harder for newspapers to publish.
Every EFTA number below is searchable at [epstein.dugganusa.com](https://epstein.dugganusa.com).
1. Epstein as Fixer Between JPMorgan and the British Government
**EFTA01300443** — January 27, 2010
Jes Staley, then head of JPMorgan's investment bank and later CEO of Barclays, emails Epstein:
> **"Were you able to arrange a meeting with Mandelson or Darling? Thanks. Jes"**
Alistair Darling was Chancellor of the Exchequer — the UK's top finance minister. Staley was asking a convicted sex offender to broker meetings with the two most powerful economic officials in Britain.
**EFTA01300484** — February 9, 2010
Staley to Epstein: **"Its Mandelson coming to NY"**
**EFTA01300485** — Epstein's reply, same day:
> **"call me"**
Not email. Phone. The sensitive conversations happened off the record.
2. Brokering China for JPMorgan
**EFTA01300613** — May 27, 2010
Mandelson forwards Epstein the invitation to the **Lujiazui Forum 2010** in Shanghai — the most important Chinese banking conference of the year. People's Bank of China, China Banking Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission, and China Insurance Regulatory Commission as co-hosts.
Mandelson tells Epstein:
> **"the entire Chinese banking fraternity is attending. Isn't it something that JPM should be represented at if they want to spread their wings in China?"**
Epstein forwards it to Jes Staley: **"I think he is right. you should read the attachments"**
**EFTA01300616** — The attached invitation: *"Dear Lord Mandelson... Dr. Fang already confirmed that we would offer both Lord Mandelson and Mr. Wegg Prosser first class round trip, three-night accommodations in Shanghai Shangri-La hotel..."*
A UK Cabinet minister was using a convicted sex offender as a channel to get JPMorgan into the Chinese banking market. This is the misconduct.
3. "Peter Mandelson Is Now Deputy Prime Minister"
**EFTA01300155** — June 5, 2009
Epstein emails Staley:
> **"well, for all intents and purposes peter mandelson is now deputy prime minister"**
Epstein wasn't just tracking British politics. He was tracking the power of his assets. Mandelson's rise was Epstein's gain — a direct line into 10 Downing Street.
4. Election Night 2016 — The Friendship
**EFTA01738859** — November 6, 2016, 9:31 PM
US election night. Trump is winning. Mandelson and Epstein are emailing in real-time:
Mandelson: **"By way, as political practitioner, donald is phenomenal. The craft and tenacity are amazing"**
Epstein: *"just skill and experience lacking unfortunately. it was his to win"*
Mandelson: *"How is [redacted]?"*
Epstein: *"married to [redacted], lives in [redacted]"*
Mandelson: *"She survived"*
This is not professional correspondence. This is friends talking about mutual acquaintances on election night. The redacted names suggest people they both know personally — names the DOJ considered sensitive enough to withhold.
5. The Copyright Coaching
**EFTA01738862** — November 6, 2016, 9:32 PM
One minute after the election night exchange, Epstein advises Mandelson:
> **"peter, in your disclaimer at the bottom of your emails you should add, copyright - all rights reserved. this makes it problematic for a newspaper to print without consent"**
Epstein was teaching Mandelson how to make their correspondence legally harder to publish. Mandelson responds:
> **"I'll tell Ben, the great long lasting Ben"**
Who is Ben? Likely a reference to someone in Mandelson's orbit — the identity matters because the copyright advice was meant to protect their entire circle, not just Mandelson.
6. The JPMorgan Report — "Petie"
**EFTA00037176** — The internal JPMorgan report filed in the SDNY litigation documents that:
- Epstein called Mandelson **"Petie"**
- Mandelson **stayed at Epstein's New York townhouse while Epstein was in prison** (2008-2009)
- Photo evidence: Mandelson and Epstein **celebrating a birthday at Epstein's Paris apartment**, January 2007
The New York townhouse — 9 East 71st Street — is the same property where the FBI found safes full of nude photographs, CDs labeled by name, and a massage table on every floor. Mandelson stayed there. While Epstein was in prison for sex offenses involving a minor.
7. The Daily Mail Questions
**EFTA01301020** — March 16, 2011
Epstein's lawyer Jack Goldberger forwards a Daily Mail inquiry about Epstein to him. Epstein forwards it to Staley. Goldberger's response to the reporter: **"ignoring"**
The Mandelson connection was already generating press inquiries by 2011. They stonewalled.

What This Means
Two arrests in four days. Andrew and Mandelson. Both on misconduct in public office. Both tied to Epstein.
The UK is doing what the US has not — charging people named in these documents.
Mandelson wasn't visiting Epstein for the conversation. He was channeling British government information and brokering Chinese banking access through a convicted child sex offender. The emails prove it. The JPMorgan reports document it. The DOJ released it. We indexed it. The Metropolitan Police arrested him.
31 names scored 15/30 or higher on our CARVER matrix. Two are now in custody. Twenty-nine to go.
