Four House Democrats are pressing former British royal Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to spill the beans in the U.S. about his questionable connection to the notorious Jeffrey Epstein.
The Washington Examiner reported that these Democrats, part of the House Oversight Committee, are pushing for testimony after newly released emails show Windsor was eager to reconnect with Epstein post-prison.
Let’s rewind a bit: Windsor, once a prince, got tangled up in the Epstein mess years ago, a scandal that’s clung to him like a bad shadow.
Emails recently made public reveal Windsor’s intent to “catch up” with Epstein after the latter’s release from incarceration, raising eyebrows about what exactly they had to discuss.
Now, stripped of his royal title and booted from his posh lodge by none other than King Charles III, Windsor’s fall from grace is a stark reminder that even blue blood can’t wash away controversy.
Adding fuel to the fire, accusations of sexual assault from Virginia Giuffre led to a settled case in 2022, though tragedy struck when Giuffre took her own life earlier this year in April.
Fast forward to Friday, when four Democrats on the House Oversight Committee decided enough is enough, calling for Windsor to testify stateside about his Epstein links.
These congressmen aren’t playing around, and they’ve got the backing of over 33,000 pages of Epstein-related documents released by the Department of Justice in September, courtesy of their committee’s efforts.
“If he wants to clear his name, if he wants to do right by the victims, he will come forward,” Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) told the BBC, sounding almost like he’s daring Windsor to step up.
But let’s not pretend this is just a noble quest for truth—there’s a whiff of political theater here, especially when progressive agendas often seem to weaponize such scandals for clout.
Still, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) doubled down, stating, “Come clean. Come before the US Congress, voluntarily testify.”
He added, “Don’t wait for a subpoena. Come and testify and tell us what you know,” as if Windsor’s got a choice in dodging this hot seat.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump isn’t thrilled with this Epstein saga dragging on, openly opposing further investigation into the case.
Trump’s even tangled with the Wall Street Journal, suing for libel over a piece alleging he penned a bizarre birthday note to Epstein, complete with odd sketches—a claim as eyebrow-raising as the rest of this story.
At the end of the day, while justice for Epstein’s victims deserves pursuit, one can’t help but wonder if this push for Windsor’s testimony is less about closure and more about scoring points in a culture war that’s already overstayed its welcome.
