Also known as: Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, Anthony Blair
According to DOJ-released documents indexed by Epstein Exposed, Tony Blair appears in 453 case documents, and 17 email records in the Epstein files.
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1997-2007). Documents released in the DOJ's 2026 tranche revealed that Blair met Jeffrey Epstein at 10 Downing Street on May 14, 2002, while still serving as prime minister. The meeting was arranged by Lord Peter Mandelson, who described Epstein in a May 2002 email to Blair's chief of staff Jonathan Powell as "a friend of mine" who was "safe," "young and vibrant," and an "active scientific catalyst." Mandelson cited Epstein's ties to Bill Clinton as a reason for the introduction. Blair's spokesperson confirmed the meeting lasted under 30 minutes and covered U.S.-UK politics.
In the "birthday book" compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, Mandelson referred to Epstein as "my best pal." Bank documents reviewed by journalists suggested Epstein transferred tens of thousands of dollars to accounts linked to Mandelson or his partner. In 2025, Mandelson was dismissed as UK Ambassador to the United States; the government cited "the depth and extent" of his relationship with Epstein. A recording released in the January 2026 DOJ tranche captured Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak in what appears to be a 2013 conversation discussing "gigantic" consulting fees paid to Blair. Blair's office called the figures "rubbish."
Epstein was recorded saying Blair "knows me well." Unsealed Maxwell case emails also referenced Blair, and photos showed Cherie Blair socializing with Maxwell at events. Blair has denied any close personal relationship with Epstein beyond limited professional encounters.
