President Donald Trump urged Americans to look past the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, even as new details forced Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to the United States, to resign from the House of Lords. The resignation followed allegations that Mandelson shared sensitive market information with Epstein while serving in the UK government.

In the United States, news continues to break as millions of documents linked to the late sex offender are released. These developments will see former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, testify before Congress later this month.

Trump claimed the records cleared him of any wrongdoing. "Nothing came out about me other than it was a conspiracy against me, literally, by Epstein and other people," he told reporters, adding that the country should focus instead on issues like health care. He described the scandal as a "Democrat problem" rather than a Republican one, attempting to bridge the focus toward the Clintons and away from his own allies, such as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and billionaire Elon Musk.
