Democrats investigating Epstein decry Andrew silence' over interview request

"Documents the committee has obtained many of which came from Epstein's estate along with testimony from abuse survivor Virginia Giuffre, raise serious questions the ex-prince must answer, yet he continues to hide, the lawmakers continued. Our work will move forward with or without him, and we will hold anyone who was involved in these crimes accountable, no matter their wealth, status, or political party."

"Two Democratic lawmakers involved in the US congressional investigation into the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on Friday condemned Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's silence in response to their request that he sit for a deposition. Robert Garcia, the ranking member of the House oversight committee, and Suhas Subramanyam, a member of the panel, were among the Democrats who earlier this month sent the former British prince a letter seeking his cooperation in their inquiry into Epstein, who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges."

Two Democratic lawmakers condemned Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's silence after requesting that he sit for a deposition in the congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Documents obtained by the committee, including many from Epstein's estate, and testimony from abuse survivor Virginia Giuffre raise questions the ex-prince must answer. Democrats lack the power to issue subpoenas as the minority, and Republican chair James Comer has not indicated whether he would seek a subpoena. Even with a subpoena, Mountbatten-Windsor could avoid legal penalties by not coming to the United States. President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requiring the attorney general to release related documents within 30 days.
