Prince Andrew is refusing to cooperate in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Reuters. Prosecutors in the case said that the Prince will not submit to any interviews despite previously saying he would help any investigation. Prince Andrew was accused of sleeping with underaged girls that were provided to him by Epstein. The United States government is still investigating Epstein's girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell due to the fact that Jeffrey Epstein allegedly killed himself in prison. It's unclear what steps prosecutors will take next. 

My Comment:

Just a quick update on a story that has been completely drowned out by the Coronavirus outbreak, and, to a lesser extent, the Prince Harry/Meghan Markel nonsense. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal may not be dead but it may as well be given how little media coverage this is getting. 

I am not surprised that Prince Andrew is not cooperating. I have always suspected he would shut down investigators. If he is honest about what he did and what he knows not only does he risk being prosecuted himself, there is a chance he could meet a similar fate as Jeffrey Epstein himself. I still don't believe that he killed himself and I think that if Prince Andrew talks he could end up "killing himself" as well. 

There hasn't been much news into the investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell. As far as I am aware she is still on the run and has not been arrested. She really is the key to all of this as she knew everything that Epstein was doing and could point the finger at Prince Andrew and other rich and powerful people. 

I do think that Prince Andrew deserves punishment for his actions. He is accused of having sex with underaged girls who were victims of human trafficking. He also has shown very little remorse for what he has done and has denied everything. Though he has lost face and been shunned by the Royal Family, that isn't anywhere near enough. He's also not cooperating which could give some justice to some of Epstein's victims. 

I still say that the Jeffrey Epstein scandal was one of the biggest stories in recent history and it's still amazing to me that it died off. Some of that is due to the current news cycle being crazy, but I have always thought the story deserved more coverage than it received. Prince Andrew is a bit part of that story and I hope that he is finally brought to justice.
