Overview
- U.S. lawmakers on November 19 published a new tranche of Epstein-related emails that reference Prince Andrew.
- A January 2015 message from journalist Landon Thomas Jr stated that “in the end he had consensual sex with [redacted],” describing an Epstein employee.
- Thomas told reporters he was echoing media coverage rather than relaying Epstein’s words and said Epstein never told him Virginia Giuffre had sex with Andrew.
- The files contain 2011 messages in which Epstein acknowledged the photograph of Andrew with Giuffre was real.
- The House Oversight Committee has requested a transcribed interview from Andrew with a response due November 20, and he continues to deny the allegations after losing use of his royal title in October.
