Move on, says Trump as Epstein files trigger probe into British politicianWASHINGTON, United States, Feb 4, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump made a fresh plea Tuesday for Americans to move on from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, even as it left a prominent British politician facing a criminal probe on the other side of the Atlantic. Former British ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson resigned from the upper house of parliament amid allegations he passed confidential information to late sex offender Epstein. Trump spent months trying to block the disclosure of files linked to Epstein, before relenting late last year when an initial tranche of files was released. Nevertheless, Trump's efforts to move on from the Epstein scandal have been hampered as it engulfs key figures from royals to politicians at home and abroad. Pictures in the latest Epstein files showed Andrew kneeling on all fours over a woman lying on the floor.
