Lord Mandelson has been released on bail, the Metropolitan Police says, hours after his arrest on Monday on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The force said a 72-year-old-man was released pending further investigation. The BBC saw Lord Mandelson returning to his London home at 02:00 GMT. Lord Mandelson has not publicly commented in recent weeks on the Epstein files, but the BBC understands his position is he has not acted in any way criminally and that he was not motivated by financial gain.
