Lord Mandelson has stepped down from the Labour Party to prevent causing additional embarrassment due to his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, as seen in recently released documents. The files suggest that he received $75,000 from the disgraced financier through three separate transfers in 2003 and 2004. Lord Mandelson, who was the Labour MP for Hartlepool at the time, has denied any knowledge of these payments and has questioned their validity. In response, he has resigned from the party and expressed regret for his association with Epstein.
