House Oversight Democrats want former prince Andrew to testify
Democrats want Andrew to testify as records show he asked Epstein to ‘catch up’ after prison release
Four House Democrats called on the former British prince, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, on Friday to testify in the United States about his connection with Jeffrey Epstein.
The call came after emails were released showing that Windsor hoped to “catch up” with Epstein shortly after he was released from prison.
“If he wants to clear his name, if he wants to do right by the victims, he will come forward,” Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) told the BBC.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) also said he would be willing to subpoena the former prince. However, this would be difficult to enforce while he remained outside of the U.S.
Subramanyam suggested that Windsor could appear remotely and have his lawyer present.
“However, if Andrew wishes to come to the United States or he’s here, then he’s subject to the jurisdiction of the US Congress, and I would expect him to testify,” Krishnamoorthi added.
The scandal-ridden prince was stripped of his title and evicted from his royal lodge by his brother, King Charles III. He had been disgraced by his ties to Epstein and accusations of sexual assault from Virginia Giuffre. They settled out of court in 2022, and Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025.
The Democratic congressmen are members of the House Oversight Committee. The committee has been at the forefront of the battle over the release of materials about the Epstein case. The House Oversight Committee released in September more than 33,000 pages of documents related to Epstein provided by the Department of Justice.
A TIMELINE OF TRUMP AND EPSTEIN’S RELATIONSHIP, FROM FRIENDSHIP TO FALLOUT AND BEYOND
President Donald Trump has opposed any continued investigation into the Epstein case. He sued the Wall Street Journal for libel over an article stating that Trump wrote a birthday letter for Epstein. The page contained a cryptic dialogue inside the sketched outline of a woman’s body.
“Come clean. Come before the US Congress, voluntarily testify. Don’t wait for a subpoena. Come and testify and tell us what you know,” Krishnamoorthi said.
