US Prosecutors Want to Question Prince Andrew Over Connection to Epstein

VOA News

   The U.S. Department of Justice issued a formal request to question
   Britain's Prince Andrew as part of the government's ongoing
   investigation into possible co-conspirators of convicted sex offender,
   Jeffrey Epstein, according to a law enforcement official.

   The formal action comes after federal prosecutors alleged that Andrew,
   known as the Duke of York, failed to respond to earlier Justice
   Department inquiries about his friendship with Epstein, who was found
   dead of an apparent suicide while in jail last August awaiting charges
   of sex trafficking and sexual abuse.

   In November, Queen Elizabeth's second son stepped down from public
   duties due to the scandal over his friendship with Epstein and
   allegations that he had sexual encounters with a 17-year-old girl about
   20 years ago.

   Investigators have not accused Andrew of any wrongdoing, and he has
   said that he would help "any appropriate law enforcement agency with
   their investigations if required."
