"Emails released by the US Department of Justice earlier this month appear to show the former duke sharing reports of official visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore. One email, dated November 2010, was forwarded by Andrew just five minutes after being sent by his then-special advisor, Amir Patel. The former duke made the visits in his capacity as trade envoy in late 2010, conducting meetings and trade talks."
"Additionally, on Christmas Eve 2010, Andrew looped Epstein in on a confidential brief on investment opportunities in the reconstruction of Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Andrew has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. The messages come after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution. Andrew previously told BBC's Newsnight in 2019 he had cut off contact with the convicted paedophile in December 2010 during a visit to New York."
