Andrew ‘provided to help Epstein district attorneys’

The Duke of York’s attorneys have rejected claims by United States district attorneys that he has actually not worked together with the inquiry into sex transgressor Jeffrey Epstein, insisting he has actually offered to assist.

United States officials formerly implicated him of providing “no co-operation”.

However in a statement, Prince Andrew’s legal team said he used aid on “at least 3 occasions”.

The attorneys recommended the United States Department of Justice was looking for promotion rather than accepting the deal of aid.

The duke stepped far from royal tasks in 2015 following his widely-criticised comments in a BBC interview about his relationship with Epstein, who took his own life in an US prison cell in August, aged 66, while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.

The duke has been greatly scrutinised for his relationship with Epstein, but he has actually said he did not witness any suspicious behaviour throughout visits to the United States financier’s homes.

In a declaration, the legal group said: “The Duke of York has on at least three celebrations this year offered his assistance as a witness to the United States Department of Justice (DoJ)”.

” Regrettably, the DoJ has actually reacted to the first 2 deals by breaching their own privacy rules and claiming that the duke has actually offered no co-operation. In doing so, they are perhaps looking for promotion instead of accepting the support proffered.”

Earlier on Monday, it was exposed that the DoJ had made an official demand to speak with the prince as part of its Epstein questions, by sending a mutual legal assistance (MLA) demand to the UK Home Office.

Under the terms of a MLA request if Prince Andrew does not willingly respond, he can be contacted us to a UK court to respond to concerns.

The duke’s attorneys explained the demand as “disappointing” since the Duke of York was “not a target of the DoJ investigation and has recently repeated his willingness to provide a witness statement”.
