As the Prince Andrew/Andrew Mountbatten Windsor fiasco dominated royal news in the past month, there was a steady undercurrent of Democratic Congressmen in the background, casually tying Andrew to the ongoing House Oversight Committee investigation into Donald Trump and the Jeffrey Epstein files. I mean, it doesn’t take much to connect the two things – Andrew’s name appears all over the Epstein files already in the House committee’s hands. Andrew is all over the flight logs for Epstein’s plane, known colloquially as the Lolita Express. Andrew is all over the email records, phone records and there are dozens (if not hundreds) of direct links between Andrew, Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But all of the American agita was mostly in the background of the larger story of what will Andrew’s family do to him, and what will the British government do? The answer turned out to be: King Charles is still heavily protecting Andrew but the Windsors basically view it as an extremely localized quarantine – they’re trying to end all of the Andrew conversation so that Parliament will not look into royal finances or royal housing or anything else. Well, that quarantine just blew up. The House Oversight committee is now demanding Andrew Windsor’s testimony.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee are calling on former prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to sit for an interview as part of their probe into deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter released on Wednesday, Rep. Robert Garcia, ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, backed by 14 other Democrats, called on “Andrew Mountbatten Windsor” to provide evidence to the committee as part of a probe into Epstein’s “accomplices and enablers.”
“The Committee is seeking to uncover the identities of Mr. Epstein’s co-conspirators and enablers and to understand the full extent of his criminal operations,” the lawmakers, led by Oversight ranking member Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), wrote. “Well-documented allegations against you, along with your long-standing friendship with Mr. Epstein, indicate that you may possess knowledge of his activities relevant to our investigation.”
They state that the committee intends to examine allegations of abuse against the former Duke of York and seek information about Epstein’s operations, contacts and alleged criminal network.
“For far too long, rich and powerful men have evaded justice,” Garcia said. “Former Prince Andrew has the opportunity now to come clean and provide justice for the survivors.”
Subramanyam added that if the royal is “innocent, then he can clear his name. And if not, our investigation will show that, and the victims will receive long-overdue justice.”
“In response to a subpoena issued to the Epstein estate, the Committee has identified financial records containing notations such as “massage for Andrew” that raise serious questions regarding the nature of your relationship with Mr. Epstein and related financial transactions,” the lawmakers wrote.
House Democrats lack subpoena power. Windsor, a British citizen, cannot be legally required to testify. The committee asked Windsor to respond by Nov. 20. Both his office and Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

At a realistic level, this is going to end up a lot like the FBI’s public calls for Andrew to sit for an interview five or six years ago. Andrew refused and his lawyer sent a pompous letter to the FBI, stressing that Andrew had no knowledge of anything Epstein and Maxwell were doing. Nothing happened, and now Trumpers have invaded the FBI, so that whole issue has just faded away. But now this congressional committee wants the same thing, only they have way more evidence that Andrew was intimately involved with many parts of Epstein and Maxwell’s trafficking operation. Charles is really going to send people to Royal Lodge in the dead of night to get Andrew cleaned out of there and moved to a still-undisclosed location in Norfolk. The thing a lot of British republicans wonder is whether the House Oversight committee will spur Parliament to investigate Andrew over there.

Charles will hide Andrew out like the queen did.
He can send a written ‘testimony’ about what he knows and name names. He has always claimed innocence although he paid £12m to silence a victim and lied about when he severed communication with Epstein.
I predict Parliament will do nothing. And the police will do nothing. Bc, despite the lack of a title, the RF is still protecting Andrew and quite obviously the RF is above the law and protected by the government. So nothing. But I’m cynical and happy to be proven wrong.
He won’t go!! I have read that what’s in the files is incredibly damning for trump photographed naked with very young girls! Who knows what’s there on Andrew!!
Nothing will come of this. The UK Government is content to let BP deal with Andrew. Starmer said as much in an interview yesterday.
Absolutely nothing.
Pure theatrics
Andrew won’t ever cross the pond. However, nothing should stop the decent people of this country from fighting for justice for the Epstein victims. Top, of course, is the “president” but, honestly, I don’t care if the r**ists are on the left or on the right, ALL of the people who abused those young women MUST be held to account!!! Vulnerable people have been treated like dirt under the feet of the so-called elite long enough. Virginia is never coming back and it is heartbreaking. But there are dozens of others. We must demand justice!
How about Congress focuses on getting the government open, funding SNAP, extending the ACA…oh, and swearing in the new AZ Congresswoman so the Epstein vote can take place.
Yeah, Andrew is not going to show and if the House opts to go down this road, they also better drag the derrière of every man named, including Cheetolini Felon 47.
Congress can multitask.
This is a good move from the Oversight Dems … they are right to turn up the heat on Andrew, even if he doesn’t cooperate and Charles tries to shield him.
The white, hot spotlight is on Andrew. Let’s see if he sweats now.
Exactly, Quitecontrary. Whether or not he responds, the Dems on the Oversight committee have seen more evidence than we have. They are following up and making a public record wherever possible. One more reason we need to take back the House next year. Then they can act on behalf of the whole committee after laying the groundwork. And keep your eye on Robert Garcia. You’ll be hearing more from him in the future.
This also keeps the Epstein Files in the news, which, even if this request comes to nothing, is important because the Republicans have shut down the entire government in order to avoid talking about them…
You’re conflating Congress (House + Senate) with the House. Speaker Johnson can swear in Adelita Grijalva any time, he just won’t (I call him daily to remind him). There’s an emergency fund to provide $$ for SNAP but the TRUMP is not allowing that to happen. Which is against the law, but I digress. As for extending the ACA tax credits–that’s what dems want & what MAGA doesn’t want, hence House members getting a paid vacation AND we have a government shutdown as a whole, as if government employees haven’t suffered enough under MAGA as well as the general public. That’s on MAGA (read trump) and no one else.
And the House + the Senate can work–and does work–on multiple issues at a time (the House when a normal sane person is in charge), it’s not one or the other.
And they ARE trying to get the release of the full Epstein file but are being thwarted by Speaker Johnson et al.
🤔 Prince Andrew is now at an interesting crossroad. He has claimed innocence. Will he speak or will he stay silent? Will his silence help or hurt the Windsor brand? He may not be a Prince anymore but he is unmistakably a Windsor, his name now more-so reflects that than before he was stripped of titles. The impact of continued fallout is still irrevocably linked to the Windsor brand and its contribution to the decades long cover up, including £12m settlement paid to one of the victims to silence her.
There have been unsolved ‘accidents’ on Royal properties. Prince Andrew will probably be thinking about who he surrounds himself with each day. The has toxic dysfunctional royal ‘mafia’ family/institution has demonstrated that it will go to great lengths to protect itself from extinction. There are likely forces in the establishment that can ‘make things happen’ to ‘stitch up’ loose ends. I still think of Princess Diana.
I think the public needs an inquiry into the Windsors’ financial operations of properties and estates (the Duchies, the Crown Estate), the use of funds from Sovereign Grant, and the decades long ‘Prince Andrew Coverup’. Accountability should be paramount.
Was the butt naked man crawling out of Buck Palace ever identified?
Can the request to appear also please extend to Fergie ? If anything, it would stop the grifter from setting foot in the U.S. I have no doubt she’s planning a faux apology/reinvention tour. Last thing I want is to see her doofus face in The View or Today show. But back to Andrew, the palace response will prove that Andrew is still being protected by the Royal family. The UK public should be outraged.
Should they not be speaking to their own president first?
They’re saving that for the impeachment.
