The White House on Monday denied its authenticity and said the president "did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it".The "birthday book" was put together by Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's British co-conspirator and ex-girlfriend, who was convicted in 2021 of conspiring to traffic girls for sex. It is dated three years before allegations of sex abuse by Epstein became public in 2006.When approached by the BBC, Lord Mandelson's spokesperson said that his connection to Epstein "has been a matter of public record for some time".The spokesperson also referred to previous comments he made to the Financial Times, in which he said: "I regret ever meeting him or being introduced to him by his partner Ghislaine Maxwell."When asked whether the prime minister knew about the nature of the ambassador's relationship with Epstein, the spokesperson said that Lord Mandelson had previously addressed the issue and that his "comments have been a matter of public record for some time".They added that the government is "focused on building a relationship with the United States" and was looking ahead to President' Trump's state visit next week.The BBC has also approached the Foreign Office for comment.A 2019 internal report by the bank JP Morgan, filed to a New York court in 2023, said that Epstein kept a "particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew, the Duke of York and Lord Peter Mandelson, a senior member of the British government".In the "birthday book" letter, the former Labour cabinet minister wrote a series of short messages, each accompanied by a photograph. His entries covered 10 pages in total."Once upon a time, an intelligent, sharp-witted man they call 'mysterious' parachuted into my life," he wrote alongside a photo of a yellow parachute gliding through the air."You would spend many hours just waiting for him to turn up," he said, alongside a picture of what appears to be Lord Mandelson looking out at a garden from a balcony.
