New revelations from the US Department of Justice’s latest release of files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein fill many of Monday’s papers. “Mandelson under fire as files appear to show Epstein sent him $75,000 (£54,800),” reads the Guardian’s headline, reporting “bank statements appear to show three payments of $25,000 (£18,270) referencing the former UK business secretary being sent from Epstein’s JP Morgan bank accounts”. Lord Mandelson said he had no record or recollection of receiving the sums and did not know whether the documents were authentic. He repeated his regret for “ever having known Epstein”.
