Britain's government was due Wednesday to publish the first tranche of documents relating to Prime Minister Keir Starmer's controversial appointment of a Jeffrey Epstein associate as UK ambassador to Washington.

The release could renew pressure on Starmer who has faced questions about his judgement over his decision to name Peter Mandelson as UK envoy to the United States in late 2024.
