US lawmakers are increasing pressure on Prince Andrew to testify in the United States regarding his connection to Jeffrey Epstein, following the release of new files. Congressman Ro Khanna and Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez have publicly stated that the Royal Family has not been transparent and King Charles III should direct his brother to cooperate. King Charles has stated the Royal Family is ready to support police inquiries and expressed concern for the victims of abuse. Thames Valley Police are also assessing a complaint regarding Andrew allegedly sharing confidential information with Epstein during his time as a trade envoy. Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and reached an out-of-court settlement with Virginia Giuffre in 2022.
