Burnham considering inquiry into Epstein, minister says

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is reportedly considering a public inquiry into the actions of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within the UK, according to Victims Minister Alex Davies-Jones.

The ongoing Epstein scandal has led to the arrests of high-profile figures including King Charles' brother and former British ambassador Peter Mandelson. Davies-Jones mentioned that Burnham plans to meet Epstein's victims and that a public inquiry could examine potential UK-related offenses linked to Epstein and possibly other figures like Mohamed al-Fayed.
