The files show British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was warned of a reputational risk to appointing Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the U.S.

because of his two-decade friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and other unrelated issues.

So far, 140 pages of documents related to last February's appointment have been made public.

Starmer fired Mandelson in September, saying he lied about his relationship with Epstein during the vetting process.

Mandelson was arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

that he may have illegally shared in emails inside market-sensitive government information.

He's denied wrongdoing and has not been charged.
