US Congress wants Andrew to explain his connection to Epstein.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who renounced his royal titles , has been officially summoned by the US Congress to explain his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous magnate accused of pedophilia and sex trafficking of minors. The news was reported by Sky News , which obtained the summons.
The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the main investigative committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, sent out the subpoena saying it had "serious questions" after identifying "financial records" in the course of the case that contained notes such as "massage for Andrew."
“The committee wants to discover the identities of Mr. Epstein’s accomplices and facilitators and understand the full extent of his criminal operations,” reads the letter, which justifies the “well-documented allegations” and the “long friendship with Mr. Epstein” as reasons for summoning Andrew, since “he may have knowledge of activities relevant to the investigation.”
The summons even cites several pieces of information considered compromising and which seem to attest to the relationship between Andrew and Epstein. “It has been publicly disclosed that your friendship with Mr. Epstein began in 1999 and that you remained close during and after his 2008 conviction for soliciting minors for prostitution. It has also been disclosed that you traveled with Mr. Epstein to his residence in New York, to the Queen’s residence at Balmoral, and to Mr. Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he was accused of abusing minors,” it reads.
“This close relationship with Mr. Epstein, along with the recently revealed 2011 email exchange in which he wrote to him 'we're in this together,' further confirms our suspicion that he may have valuable information about the crimes committed by Mr. Epstein and his accomplices,” the letter emphasizes.
"In the interest of justice for Jeffrey Epstein's victims, we request that you cooperate with the commission's investigation by participating in a transcribed interview with the commission," the letter continues, with a response deadline of November 20th.
The summons comes not only after Andrew lost his royal titles and was forced to move from Royal Lodge to a private residence in Sandringham, but also following new revelations in the posthumous book by Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accused Andrew of sexually abusing her when she was a minor and of being trafficked by Epstein, something the British royal family member has always denied.
