UK Prime Minister Indicates Andrew Should Appear in US Epstein Investigation as Pressure Grows
The prime minister of Britain has stepped up examination of former Prince Andrew in the US Epstein inquiry by urging anyone with pertinent knowledge to testify.
The British prime minister urged that former Prince Andrew speak before a US congressional committee looking into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and pressure is growing for him to do so.
Keir Starmer avoided making direct remarks about King Charles III’s disgraced younger brother when speaking to reporters on the way to the Group of 20 Summit in Johannesburg. Instead, he emphasized a long-standing principle: those with pertinent information should assist authorities.
Starmer stated, “I don’t comment on his particular case.” “However, I’ve always believed that anyone with pertinent information about these kinds of cases should provide that evidence to those who need it.”
Former Prince Andrew Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has thus far refused to provide a “transcribed interview” regarding his “long-standing friendship” with Epstein, as requested by members of the US House Oversight Committee. As the royal family attempted to protect itself from the criticism surrounding his relationship with the disgraced banker, he was deprived of his royal titles and medals last month.
Starmer’s comments come after the committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Robert Garcia of California, and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia blasted Andrew for his continued avoidance of responsibility.
They issued a joint statement on Friday, saying, “Andrew continues to hide from serious questions.” “With or without him, our work will continue, and we will hold everyone responsible for these crimes accountable, regardless of their political affiliation, money, or social standing. Justice for the surviving will be served.
