British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that Prince Andrew should testify before the US Congress regarding his knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. Starmer's statement, made during a trip to Asia, marks a shift from his previous stance of encouraging anyone with relevant information to testify. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing Epstein's victims and sharing information. The call for Andrew's testimony follows the release of new Epstein files by the US Justice Department, including potentially damaging photos and emails involving the Prince. Andrew was previously stripped of his royal titles due to his involvement in the Epstein scandal.
