| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, we have another arrest in the UK. |
| 0:04.3 | This time it is Mandelson, Peter Mandelson. |
| 0:08.2 | This is a big establishment guy in the UK, and he was arrested on suspicion charges of public documents. |
| 0:26.0 | And the documents referred to to the communication email exchange with regards to a $75,000 payment for some sort of information. |
| 0:34.8 | And Mendelsohn is disputing this. |
| 0:36.7 | Of course, he says that he has not, he doesn't have any |
| 0:40.3 | recollection of receiving any payments from Epstein. So he was taken into custody, Alexander. |
| 0:47.7 | He was released. Andrew, the Andrew formerly known as Prince, was taken into custody, questioned. He was released. Not looking good for Stammer. Where are we with all of this? |
| 1:01.0 | No, it's not looking good for Stammer at all. There's a number of things to say. The case against Mandelson and the case against Andrew in legal terms is identical. What they are being |

| 1:56.7 | And the case that's been brought against both of these two men is the same. |
| 2:03.1 | It's the same charge or the same crime misconduct of public office. |
| 2:09.8 | Now, I have to say this, there is something very strange about the way this has all gone, |
| 2:15.9 | this has all happened. And we discussed it |
| 2:18.7 | the last time we touched on all of this. The case against Mandelson on the facts that we know |
| 2:25.1 | is much stronger than the case against Andrew. Firstly, the case is misconduct of public office. It is not clear what public office Andrew actually held. He was a British trade representative, but apparently that was unpaid. And somebody who encountered him as a British trade representative has told me in a |
| 2:54.6 | private email that Andrew did absolutely nothing. He was there purely in a decorative position. |
| 3:03.6 | I mean, he wasn't actually doing anything important. Also, it turns out that the man |
