The list of some of the world's most rich and powerful people with ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has lengthened, after the US government released millions of new files from its investigation into the disgraced financier.
There is no suggestion that appearing in the documents implies any wrongdoing. Many people who have featured in previous releases have denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
Here is a list of some of the people mentioned in the latest release.
Photographs appearing to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor kneeling on all fours over a female lying on the ground have also been included in the latest Epstein files release.
In two of the images, the former prince is seen touching the person, who is unidentified and fully clothed, on her stomach. Another image shows him staring directly at the camera.
No context is supplied for the photos and it is unclear when and where they were taken.
Response:BBC News has approached Mountbatten-Windsor for comment. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office in mid-February in Norfolk, after Thames Valley Police said it was assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Epstein. He has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing. Mountainbatten-Windsor served as the UK's trade envoy between 2001 and 2011.
Epstein made $75,000 (£55,000) of payments to accounts connected to Lord Mandelson, bank statements released in the files suggest, including to his partner Reinaldo Avila da Silva.
The Metropolitan Police has launched a criminal investigation into Lord Mandelson following claims he passed market-sensitive information to Epstein.
In 2009, one year after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor, da Silva sent an email requesting "anything you can help me with".
Epstein replied: "I will wire your loan amount immediately".
A separate email exchange appears to show Epstein arranging a place for Mandelson to stay at one of his New York apartments, with Epstein writing, "thrilled to host and sad I'm not there".
Response:Lord Mandelson stepped down from the House of Lords, and also resigned from the Labour Party. He hasreiterated his regret for "ever having known Epstein" and for continuing his association following Epstein's conviction. He has told the BBC he "was never culpable or complicit in (Epstein's) crimes. Like everyone else I learned the actual truth about him after his death". He has not responded to the allegations of leaking documents, but BBC understands that he maintains he did not act criminally and did not act for personal gain. He argues that he sought Epstein's expertise in the national interest during the 2008 global financial crisis.
He was arrested at the end of February from his home in Camden, north London. The Metropolitan Police then released a statement confirming a 72-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office and taken to a London police station for interview.
The US president is mentioned thousands of times in the files released by the Department of Justice, including in emails and correspondence sent by Jeffrey Epstein himself to others.
