US lawmakers call on UK's ex-prince Andrew to testify over Epstein ties
"United States lawmakers have written to Andrew, Britain's disgraced former prince, requesting that he sit for a formal interview about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a day after King Charles III formally stripped his younger brother of his royal titles. Separately, a secluded desert ranch where Epstein once entertained guests is coming under renewed scrutiny in the US state of New Mexico, with two state legislators proposing a truth commission to uncover the full extent of the financier's crimes there."
"The committee is seeking to uncover the identities of Mr Epstein's co-conspirators and enablers and to understand the full extent of his criminal operations, the letter read. Well-documented allegations against you, along with your longstanding friendship with Mr Epstein, indicate that you may possess knowledge of his activities relevant to our investigation, it added. The letter asked Andrew to respond by November 20."
Sixteen Democratic members of the US House sent a letter asking Andrew, now Mr Mountbatten Windsor, to participate in a transcribed interview with the House oversight committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein. The committee is seeking the identities of Epstein's co-conspirators and enablers and aims to understand the full scope of his criminal operations. The letter cited well-documented allegations and Andrew's longstanding friendship with Epstein, and requested a response by November 20. US Congress lacks power to compel testimony from foreigners, making his cooperation unlikely. King Charles III initiated a formal process on October 30 to revoke Andrew's royal status. A New Mexico ranch linked to Epstein faces renewed scrutiny and a proposed truth commission seeks to uncover crimes there.
