Prince Andrew urged to testify to Congress over Epstein
Prince Andrew, a member of the British royal family, has been urged to testify before the US Congress regarding his relationship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The request comes amid ongoing investigations into Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking network and the involvement of powerful individuals.
The call for Prince Andrew to provide testimony was made by US attorney David Boies, representing several of Epstein’s accusers. Boies emphasized the importance of obtaining information from Prince Andrew to fully understand the extent of Epstein’s activities and any potential complicity of others.
Prince Andrew has faced accusations of sexual misconduct with one of Epstein’s alleged victims when she was a minor. The prince has denied any wrongdoing and has stated that he is willing to cooperate with law enforcement as part of their investigation into Epstein’s crimes.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace has stated that Prince Andrew has repeatedly offered to provide assistance in the investigation but has been met with a lack of cooperation from the US authorities. The palace reiterated that the prince is not a target of the investigation and is eager to help bring closure to the victims of Epstein’s abuse.
The development comes as Epstein’s former associate Ghislaine Maxwell awaits trial on charges of aiding Epstein in his sex trafficking scheme. The scrutiny surrounding Prince Andrew’s ties to Epstein has intensified following Maxwell’s arrest and the unsealing of court documents containing allegations against him.
Congressional hearings involving Prince Andrew could shed light on the extent of his relationship with Epstein, potentially uncovering new details about the disgraced financier’s operation and the involvement of other high-profile figures.
