Epstein supplied Mandelson with illegal drugs and Botox while he was in government: Revelations add to mounting pressure on PM over US ambassador appointment

The Mail on Sunday has revealed that Jeffrey Epstein illegally supplied drugs to Peter Mandelson while he was a government minister.

The explosive emails also reveal how the pedophilia financier’s Labor colleague got cosmetic Botox injections while visiting him in New York.

The shocking conversations took place while Epstein was under house arrest after being convicted of sexually soliciting a 14-year-old girl. And in the most shocking message, Mandelson tells the sex offender that drugs thought to be the tranquilizer Xanax are ‘all very good but you need someone to use them…’

It is known that Epstein hooked his victims, including Virginia Giuffre, on Xanax, making them dependent on him and more flexible. It is a controlled drug in both the US and the UK, meaning it is illegal to possess without a prescription. The NHS does not prescribe it due to the high risk of addiction.

But in one email, Mandelson boldly asks Epstein where to get more ‘triangles’.

Xanax pills come in different forms depending on their dosage; the strongest are green and triangular. Last night Mandelson’s lawyers did not deny that the ‘triangles’ in the messages referred to Xanax.

Some of the damning emails uncovered in the Epstein Files show Mandelson was so close to the sex offender that he repeatedly asked for medical advice and medication.

They will put further pressure on Sir Keir Starmer over his decision to appoint Mandelson as US ambassador, despite his known links to the pedophile. Last week it emerged that the Prime Minister was warned in writing that Mandelson maintained a “particularly close” friendship with Epstein for years after his 2008 conviction for a sex crime.

ADDICTIVE PILLS KEEP EPSTEIN’S DAUGHTERS ‘CHANGABLE’

Virginia Giuffre became addicted to Xanax provided by Jeffrey Epstein’s network of doctors while she was being trafficked by the pedophile.

In her memoirs, published posthumously, Ms. Giuffre bravely wrote about how she became dependent on the addictive and powerful sedative to cope with the ongoing abuse.

He said: ‘I was increasingly turning to Xanax and other drugs prescribed by doctors. [Ghislaine] Maxwell sent me. Sometimes when I was really struggling I would take as many as eight Xanax a day.’

It was reported that the drug was also given to other victims.

A 2011 email from the Epstein Files released by the US Department of Justice shows a lawyer recording how a victim ‘reported that Epstein had given her Xanax to remain emotionally malleable’.

Another email sent to Epstein in 2013 by an unidentified alleged victim reads: ‘Xanax was no good. It knocked me out within 20 minutes of taking it. ‘I couldn’t wake up and had crazy nightmares.’

In an email, Mandelson boldly asks Epstein where to get more ‘triangle’ – a slang term for the drug Xanax

Last night, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: ‘These revelations are jaw-dropping. If Mandelson was given limited medications and botox from Epstein, it shows how addicted he had become to this evil pedophile. The police must investigate immediately.’

Epstein had Mandelson get Botox during a taxpayer-funded visit to New York in March 2010. Although Epstein was under house arrest at the time, Mandelson, then Trade Secretary and Gordon Brown’s de facto Deputy Prime Minister, saw him twice. Ahead of the trip, Epstein asked Mandelson ‘do you need me’ on March 3, to which the politician replied: ‘I need you all the time… have a formal dinner on the 3rd and then come back. What about injections??’

In response, Epstein asked him if Wednesday afternoon would work. The next day, Epstein asked: “Marrying the face and neck?” he asked. When Mandelson asked, “Do you think I should do it?”, Epstein replied: “Botox is the first step.” They continued to adjust the times, but it’s unclear whether the procedure continued. The MoS found an invoice for ‘Lipokit’, a brand of cosmetic fat transfer injections, dated the day Mandelson visited Epstein; However, this is different from Botox.

‘One triangle or two?’ Mandelson asked in an email on December 5, 2009. he asked in an email, making an apparent reference to Xanax. Epstein responded by saying ‘one’.

Later that month, Epstein asked Mandelson ‘are you feeling better?’ he asked, and the politician replied: ‘How do I get more triangles?!’ This wasn’t the only drug Mandelson wanted from Epstein.

The day before his visit to New York in 2010, he said he was down to his last Niaspan pill, a prescription-only drug that lowers cholesterol and blood fat levels, and asked for more. Epstein confirmed he could have some and replied: ‘I’m done with triangles’, while Mandelson said ‘yippie’.

In June 2010, Mandelson appears to have asked about taking more Niaspan, adding: ‘Triangles are great, but you need someone to use them…’ Niaspan is not known to be a recreational or cosmetic drug, but Epstein was evangelical about its benefits. He told Mandelson to take the medication ‘every day’ and also ‘make sure your doctor gives you a prescription…it will change your life.’

In March 2010, Epstein emailed Mandelson and said: ‘We need to change your medications after the election. It causes dry nose and baggy eyes… there are much newer, more effective pills with fewer side effects.’

Xanax pills come in different forms depending on their dosage; the strongest are green and triangular.

Mandelson replied: ‘Your nose is not dry! The rash lasted for an hour on the face, hands and body. So if you’re going to have a press conference in the morning, you’d better do it later.’

Mandelson also told Epstein that he was taking the antidepressant Dosulepin after revealing that he had a ‘massive rash’ on his face.

It is unclear where Mandelson obtained Dosulepin; because NHS guidance says the drug should not be prescribed for depression because it can be highly toxic and lead to significant cardiac risks.

But it’s clear that Mandelson trusted Epstein enough to seek medical advice. As late as February 2011, the politician asked him when he should take his medicine as he crossed time zones.

While it is known that Epstein’s victims were drugged, today’s revelations are thought to be the first to link them to his friends. It is also seen that Epstein gave clothes to Mandelson during his visit to New York. Days after the trip, the Labor leader emailed: ‘I’m wearing a new jumper with new shoes and a belt. Thanks!’

Mandelson’s lawyers last night refused to comment on any outstanding points in the MoS investigation.

The peer, who is under investigation on suspicion of misconduct in public office, has previously expressed regret over his ties to Epstein, describing their friendship as ‘the most terrible mistake’ and ‘misplaced loyalty’.

‘I got a bonus for giving a massage to Andrew and Mandelson…’

A former employee of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has revealed he was told to give massages to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson.

Christine Kenneally spoke out after an extraordinary photo emerged of Andrew and Mandelson wearing bathrobes while sitting with Epstein during a trip to Martha’s Vineyard, an island off Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

Ms Kenneally said she was flown to the island in 1999 by Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.

He described Andrew and Mandelson as “perfect gentlemen” and said nothing inappropriate had happened. He was paid for the trip and given a bonus for the ‘important people’ he massaged.

Meanwhile, a leaked email shows how Andrew and his business partner Jonathan Rowland joked about ‘getting a massage’ amid furor in February 2011 following the MoS’ interview with masseuse Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein trafficking victim and former Prince photographed with the Prince.

Two months later Mr Rowland told Andrew he was in China with a banker and they were ‘thinking of getting a massage… What do you think?’ he said.

Andrew replied: ‘Ha ha. Fuck you too!’
