The House Oversight Committee is extremely interested in inviting Prince Andrew to give evidence about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a senior Democrat confirmed to the BBC on Tuesday night. Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) told Newsnight host Victoria Derbyshire that he was sure the committee would invite the disgraced royal to testify regarding his involvement in all of this.
The push comes as the panel examines newly released case files and documents tied to the late financiers estate that reportedly mention the disgraced royal. The warning of a potential summons comes days after Buckingham Palace confirmed Andrew would no longer use his Duke of York title. However, as a UK citizen, the prince cannot be subpoenaed to appear before a U.S. committee and would only attend voluntarily.
Derbyshire pressed Lynch on comments made earlier that day by House Oversight chair James Comer (R-KY), who said the evidence the panel had gathered does not implicate President [Donald] Trump in any way. Ridiculous, the House Democrat replied.
He continued: Obviously, weve seen the documents thus far, limited documents, but clearly there are several flights on which Donald Trump and Epstein shared. There are flight manifests that document him on several different flights. There are the presidents own statements of fondness for Mr. Epstein. Theres the birthday card that was, you know, put together, you know, 20 or 30 years ago.

OK, they're so stupid, they must think he'll
deflect from Trump and other high Republican
judges and officials.
Right.

If they wanted the truth out of Andrew, they would have him cross-examined by the DOJ prosecutor who got Epstein and Maxwell convicted and jailed, Maureen Comey. Instead, they fired her.
It's the same thing Republicans did with Maxwell.
