‘ZERO COOPERATION’

Prince Andrew Hasn’t Responded to FBI Interview Requests in Epstein Case: U.S. Attorney

The prince previously said he was willing to help the FBI with its ongoing investigation.

Federal prosecutors and the FBI are trying to interview Prince Andrew about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but he has not responded to their requests, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said Monday during a press conference outside Epstein’s Manhattan home. The Duke of York, who was a friend of Epstein’s, previously said he was willing to help law enforcement agencies in their ongoing investigation. “Of course, I am willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required,” he said in an earlier statement. But Berman said Prince Andrew has provided “zero cooperation.” The prince withdrew from his royal duties in November after coming under intense scrutiny over his ties to Epstein, as well as accusations that he had sex with an underage girl, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who says she was trafficked by Epstein. The disgraced financier killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell last summer.
