Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor fails to respond to summons to testify before US Congress
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ignores Congress request to give Epstein testimony
- Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has failed to respond to an official summons from the US House oversight committee requesting his testimony regarding connections to the late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
- The committee had requested a 'transcribed interview' by 20 November, but he has reportedly not replied, leading to accusations from US lawmakers that he is 'hiding'.
- Despite the committee lacking the authority to compel testimony from non-US citizens residing abroad, Democrat Suhas Subramanyam warned that the investigation will continue.
- Mountbatten-Windsor previously reached an out-of-court settlement with Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre and has consistently denied all allegations against him.
- The full cache of Epstein files is legally required to be made public within 30 days following a bill signed by Donald Trump, with redactions only for victim protection, not for reputational harm.
