Peter Power served as a spokesperson and public relations representative for Peter Mandelson, a prominent British politician who held various ministerial positions including Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and European Commissioner. Power's professional role involved managing communications and media relations for Mandelson during his political career. Power appears in the Epstein case files primarily through his professional association with Mandelson.
He is referenced in email correspondence between Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein, notably in document EFTA01817184, where Mandelson mentions meeting with Power. The documents suggest Power was part of Mandelson's immediate professional circle during a period when Mandelson was in contact with Epstein. According to OCR-extracted text from document EFTA00895006, dated July 25, 2010, Epstein references waiting for Power at Baker Street, identifying him as "my friend and spokesman." This phrasing suggests a professional relationship or possible acquaintance between Epstein and Power, though the exact nature of their connection remains limited in the available documentation.
Power's presence in the case files appears tangential to the central allegations. Across approximately 15 documents in the database, he is mentioned in passing within email chains and correspondence rather than being a subject of direct investigation. His references occur primarily in contextual mentions regarding Mandelson's activities and communications.
The documents referencing Power include email correspondence from various dates, with Epstein and others discussing meetings and schedules. These mentions are scattered across different document IDs, including EFTA01817184, EFTA00895006, and related email chains, suggesting Power's name appeared in multiple email threads during the period when Mandelson and Epstein were in contact. Power does not appear in the black book, a contact list recovered during the investigation, indicating he was not among Epstein's primary social or professional contacts as documented in that specific record.
