Andrew ‘had consensual sex’ with Epstein employee, new email claims

Donald Trump just signed a bill ordering for the release of the Epstein files

The news comes after the former prince was disclosed as the Brit who has been named the most in 23,000 documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

The US House Oversight Committee released thousands of files, and The Mirror revealed the disgraced royal to be one of the names most mentioned.

Other names included in the files include Sir David Beckham, Naomi Campbell, Adele and Mick Jagger.

The appearance of names in the files do not indicate any wrongdoing.

The former Prince Andrew was mentioned a total of 173 times across the files, which include everything from emails and letters to travel slips, subpoenas and legal notes.

Now, a private email exchange has emerged talking about claims the former Duke of York had "consensual sex" with one of Jeffrey Epstein's employees.

This comes a month after Andrew's brother, King Charles III, stripped the former prince of his titles.

It comes amid Donald Trump's signing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which will order the justice department to release more information.

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) now has 30 days to release all unclassified documents that relate to its investigation into convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

This included flight logs and travel records, as well as individuals who are named or referenced in connection to the investigation.

The DoJ will also have to release files relating to the investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving 20 years for helping Epstein abuse teenage girls.

The bill allows for the details of victims to be withheld, but says that none can be held back for the sake of “embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity”.

Additionally, the bill allows for materials “that would jeopardise an active investigation” to be withheld from being released.

Concerns have been raised that Trump seeking a new investigation into Democrats’ ties to Epstein could lead to this, and block the release of new documents.

Andrew’s royal titles were given up last month ahead of the publication of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir.

In August 2021, she sued Andrew in a US court, accusing him of sexually assaulting her on three occasions after she was introduced to him by Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaking with BBC Newsnight in 2019, Andrew said he had no memory of ever meeting Ms Giuffre, adding that the famous image of them together was ‘doctored’.

This case was settled outside of court for a sum believed to be around £13m. Ms Giuffre took her own life in April.
