Metropolitan Police detectives plan to interview Gordon Brown regarding Peter Mandelson, who was arrested over allegations of misconduct in public office. The investigation centers on whether Mandelson shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein, a claim supported by documents released through the US State Department's 'Epstein Files.' Although the former Prime Minister is reportedly willing to cooperate, no official contact for an interview has been made.
