Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Lawmakers Urge Andrew to Testify Over Epstein Files
Caption: US Lawmakers Urge Andrew to Testify Over Epstein Files. U.S. lawmakers have called on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to testify in the United States about his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna told the BBC the Royal Family had “not been transparent” and said Andrew appearing before Congress would be appropriate. Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez urged King Charles III to direct his brother to answer questions before a congressional oversight committee. Andrew has denied wrongdoing and reached an out-of-court settlement in 2022 with accuser Virginia Giuffre, without admitting liability. Buckingham Palace said the Royal Family was ready to support police inquiries, while expressing concern for victims of abuse. Thames Valley Police said it was assessing a complaint related to Andrew’s alleged sharing of confidential information with Epstein during his time as a trade envoy. U.S. authorities have previously attempted to secure Andrew’s cooperation, but he cannot be compelled by subpoena to testify in the United States. Pressure has intensified following the release of millions of new Justice Department documents, renewing scrutiny of Andrew’s past association with Epstein.
