Email Shows Maxwell Said She Was Told to Deny Knowledge of 'Massage' With Prince Andrew

The disclosure comes from a trove of roughly 20,000 Epstein records, with U.S. lawmakers seeking a transcribed interview from Andrew by November 20.

Overview

  • A January 2015 email released in the new document tranche quotes Ghislaine Maxwell saying she was told to state she was not aware of a "massage w/andrew" in her London home.
  • "Massage" was previously described by Virginia Giuffre as a euphemism for sex, a claim at the center of her allegations that Andrew has denied.
  • Reporters describe the email exchange as occurring days after Andrew’s name surfaced in U.S. court filings, reflecting coordination between Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.
  • House Oversight Democrats led by Rep. Robert Garcia asked Andrew to sit for a transcribed interview and requested a response by November 20, though Congress cannot compel testimony from a foreign national.
  • Other released emails reportedly include Epstein telling a journalist the photograph of Andrew with Giuffre was real, while Andrew continues to reject all accusations.
