From Trade Envoy to Police Probe: The Andrew-Epstein Fallout Takes A Possible Criminal Turn · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to take a
0:06
trip across the pond and we're gonna check in on
0:09
the Joe exotic of the Windsor family and his latest
0:13
Epstein related problems. And boy are those problems growing. Because
0:19
now Andrew is being probed by the prosecutors over in England.
0:25
And this is a pretty big development because previously the
0:29
authorities over in England really didn't have the will to
0:32
pursue this matter. And that's because the Crown, well with
0:36
the King basically saying do what you gotta do. Things
0:39
have changed and I would not be shocked to see
0:42
Prince Andrew end up in serious trouble, but not for
0:45
Jeffrey Epstein. Not for the actual abuse I mean, but
0:49
for passing classified information to Epstein, for giving Epstein information
0:55
Epstein shouldn't have, and probably for some financial crimes as well.
1:00
One things for sure, the stakes have never been higher
1:04
for Prince Andrew. This article was published by the Sun
1:07
and the headline Andrew probed by criminal prosecutors over Epstein's
1:12
scandal as police issue major update after latest file bombshell.
1:19
This article was authored by Summer Ray Mason, Sam Creed,
1:24
Emily Jane Davies, and Luisa Wolf. Earlier this week, we
1:29
revealed how bombshell Epstein files showed Andy leaked trade envoy
1:34
documents to his friend and convicted sex offender. Yeah, not
1:38
a good look, obviously, if you're a trade envoy, you
1:41
probably shouldn't be giving any information to anybody, right, confidentiality issues,
1:46
all kinds of stuff. But to give it to Epstein
1:50
of all people, yikes, And again timelines matter. Andrew knew
1:54
exactly what Epstein was, he didn't care. Docs revealed the
2:02
humiliated ex duke had passed on an email containing at
2:05
least four documents in twenty ten when acting as UK
2:09
Global Trade Envoy. Andrew set the attachments within minutes of
2:14
receiving them on November thirtieth, twenty ten, while visiting Epstein
2:18
at his New York apartment. Can someone please explain to
2:21
me how that's not illegal? How Prince Andrew is it
2:25
in handcuffs? I mean, we're talking about national security here.
2:30
We're not even just talking about being a degenerate. We're
2:34
talking about national security implications. My guy is handing off
2:37
state secrets to an intelligence asset for god knows who.
2:43
These are serious, serious claims and they need to be
2:45
dealt with in a serious manner under official guidance, and
2:50
voys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive commercial or
2:55
political information about official visits. On Monday, cops confirmed the claim.
3:00
We're being urgently assessed. Now, look, I have my doubts
3:04
if anything's gonna come of it. But one thing I
3:07
will say that's different is the King has tacitly given
3:11
his support to the authorities to do whatever they have
3:14
to do. And that's a little bit different than what
3:16
we've seen in the past. So is it going to
3:19
change things. Maybe, But I have my doubts, and I
3:22
had being cynical about it all. But history has proven
3:26
that cynicism is proper here because every time we think
3:31
that there is going to be a turn, every time
3:33
we think somebody like Andrew is going to be held accountable,
3:36
something else happens. So I'm not holding my breath here.
3:42
And today Tame's Valley Police assist in Chief Constable Oliver
3:45
Wright said, we can confirm today that Tame's Valley Police
3:50
is leading the ongoing assessment of allegations relating to misconduct
3:54
in public office, folks, this is the blueprint. This is
4:00
what I'm talking about here in America. Follow the money,
4:03
follow the documents. There's no argument there. You can't really
4:07
dispute that it is what it is, right, did you
4:10
or did you not receive the money? Did you or
4:12
did you not hand over the documents? That sort of thing.
4:16
You can't impugne the credibility of the documents. So that's
4:21
why it has to be a two pronged attack. Right. Obviously,
4:24
we have to go after these bastards for sexually assaulting people,
4:28
raping people, and trafficking people. But we also have to
4:32
go after them for these financial crimes that targeted the
4:35
rest of us. And I'm so blown away when people
4:38
leave that part out because your tax dollars went to
4:42
battling out Jeffrey Epstein over six point seven billion dollars
4:45
by the way, No big deal, right, Keep paying those taxes.
4:50
Keep looking at all those homeless people all over the country.
4:55
But Jeffrey Epstein and his boys they were made whole. Meanwhile,
4:59
they're the ones who cause the whole entire crash. They're
5:01
the ones who cause the whole disaster, And they're the
5:04
only ones who ended up coming out of it sitting
5:06
pretty and that's because they just transferred your wealth to them.
5:10
So even if you don't believe that Jeffrey Epstein was
5:12
some kind of gigantic trafficker, how can you not be
5:15
mad about the fact that he was literally stealing from you.
5:21
This specifically relates to documents within the United States Department
5:25
of Justice Epstein files. As part of this assessment, we
5:29
have engaged in discussions with specialist Crown prosecutors from CPS.
5:34
We will provide updates as and when they are available,
5:37
but at this stage it would be inappropriate to discuss
5:40
further specifics of this work. I don't expect them to
5:43
talk more about it yet. I mean, they're trying to
5:46
build a case, and to do that you have to
5:49
keep things close to the vest I get that, but
5:53
my big problem is are they going to go through
5:55
with it? They should and if you really want to
5:58
set an example, this is where you do it. And
6:01
I think that if the UK has the courage to
6:03
do it here, that's going to reverberate across the ocean
6:08
and we'll start seeing some movement in America. Because if
6:11
it's good enough for a prince it's certainly good enough
6:14
for Leon Black or Les Wexner or Glenn Dubin. While
6:18
we cannot provide time skills over wanted decision as to
6:21
whether a criminal investigation will be opened, we can assure
6:24
you that Thames Valley Police is making progress as quickly
6:28
as possible. King Charles has said he stands ready to
6:31
support any police investigation into his disgraced brother Andrew mount
6:36
Batten Winsor. In a bombshell statement, Buckingham Pallace said, the
6:41
King is made clear in words and through unprecedented actions,
6:45
his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to
6:48
light in respect of mister mount Batten Windsor's conduct. While
6:53
the specific claims in question for mister mount Batten Windsor
6:57
to address. If we are approached by the Thames v Police,
7:00
we stand ready to support them as you would expect,
7:04
and that is an unprecedented statement. Usually the Crown is
7:08
off limits, right, They're untouchable, not anymore. Not Prince Andrew.
7:13
The party's over for him. So let's hope the authorities
7:16
do the right thing and charge him with whatever crimes
7:20
that he might be guilty of. You see, here's the
7:23
difference between me and other people. I'm not calling for
7:27
people to just be arrested and thrown in prison. What
7:31
I'm calling for are robust investigations. Everything has to be
7:35
looked at, every single allegation, every single crime that possibly
7:39
was committed, everything, And it truly baffles me how anyone
7:43
could be against that, Like, what are you scared of?
7:47
Let's bring it all to light, Let's sanitize it all,
7:50
and let's see where we stand. That way we can
7:52
get on with fixing shit. Because if you think this
7:55
is sustainable, you're fucking crazy. It is not. And the
7:59
longer this scannell drags on, the worse it's going to
8:02
be on all of our societies. That's how bad this is.
8:08
That's how deep this runs, and that's why it's so
8:10
important that we confront it, and we confront it now.
8:14
As we previously stated, their Majesty's thoughts and sympathies have
8:18
been and remain with the victims of any and all
8:22
forms of abuse. PM Kiras, starmer spokesman, said anyone with
8:26
information should be prepared to share it with irrelevant authorities.
8:31
Kate and William also said that they are deeply concerned
8:34
about continuing revelations surrounding Andrew. Kensington Palace spokesman told journalists
8:39
and Riod I can confirm the Prince and Princess have
8:43
been deeply concerned by the continuing revelations. Their thoughts remain
8:47
focused on the victims. Well, that's a good idea and
8:51
a nice thought, and you know, it would be a
8:53
great bit of outreach to invite the survivors to the palace.
8:59
I know, crazy, right, bring him in, sit him down,
9:03
talk to him, see what's up. I mean, it should
9:05
be the American politicians doing that and leading the way,
9:09
but unfortunately they have no desire to do so. So
9:12
maybe someone somewhere will step up and do the right thing,
9:16
because at some point you have to put some action
9:19
behind your words. And the Palace can have all these
9:22
statements and say whatever they want, but they ignored this
9:25
for years, so they need to step up and do
9:29
the right thing. Andrew had been reported to the cops
9:35
by the anti monarchy group Republic. It was understood that
9:39
he was reported on Sunday morning. A TVP spokeswoman earlier
9:43
said we can confirm receipt of this report and are
9:47
assessing the information in line with our established procedures. Trade
9:52
envoys like Andrew, who quit the taxpayer funded job in
9:56
twenty eleven over his linkstat steam are bound by the
9:59
Official Secrets Act. Andrew also allegedly gave Epstein confidential documents
10:06
about the proposed reconstruction of Hellman Province in Afghanistan in
10:11
December of twenty ten. And we all know Epstein was
10:15
in Afghanistan. Was he there to work on this deal?
10:18
Did Prince Andrew forward this deal to him and then
10:21
benefit from it? These are all questions that need to
10:24
be answered. And this is why I tell you follow
10:27
the money. The money trail never lies, he wrote, attached
10:31
as a confidential brief produced by the provincial reconstruction team
10:35
in Hellman Province for international investment opportunities. I'm going to
10:40
offer this elsewhere in my network, including Abu Dhabi, but
10:44
I would be very interested in your comments, views, or
10:47
ideas as to whom I could usefully show this to
10:50
attract some interest. Former copp Day Davies, who was head
10:54
of the Royal Protection from ninety four to ninety eight,
10:57
previously said an investigation in Day Andrew was an no brainer.
11:02
He told the son to me, it's an no brainer
11:04
that this shouldn't just be an assessment but an investigation,
11:08
and that does raise the question as to whether the
11:11
emails are only the tip of the iceberg as to
11:15
what he might have told Epstein. And I think that
11:18
is really what it comes down to at this point.
11:21
Nobody has any idea what Andrew said to Epstein, what
11:25
sort of state secrets he gave him, what sort of
11:28
confidential information, And the only way to get to the
11:31
bottom of that is an investigation, right, so let's get
11:35
on with it. It comes after the MET launched a
11:38
criminal probe and to Peter Mandelsson amid allegations he also
11:42
shared confidential information with Epstein. Andrew's socialite pal, Glene Maxwell,
11:49
refused to answer questions in front of a closed hearing
11:52
of the US Congress on Monday. She appeared before Oversight
11:56
Committee via video link from a Texas jail where she's
11:59
serving a twenty year sentence for sex trafficking, but in
12:03
a bloate of justice for the survivors of Epstein, she
12:07
invoked her Fifth Amendment right, which offers protection against self incrimination.
12:13
Like that was the biggest no brainer ever. There was
12:16
no way Glene Maxwell was gonna say shit. Ever, just
12:21
like I told you from the very beginning, relying on
12:23
Glene Maxwell is a bad idea. Her lawyer said that
12:30
she would only be willing to testify on behalf of
12:32
President Trump and former President Bill Clinton to clear them
12:36
of wrongdoing. Furious US Democrats said she was laying the
12:40
groundwork for a presidential pardon. Well, yeah, that's exactly what
12:44
she's doing. Is Trump going to give her that? I
12:47
don't know, but probably at this point probably. An open
12:53
letter from the family of Andrews sex abuse accuser Virginia Roberts,
12:57
addressed directly to Maxwell, was submitted. It accused her of
13:01
being a monster who helped create a statistic system where
13:05
young girls were sexually exploited at the whim of the powerful.
13:09
The family wrote, Glaine Maxwell, you were not a bystander.
13:12
You were not misled. You were a central, deliberate actor
13:16
in a system built the fine children, isolate them, groom them,
13:20
and deliver them to abuse. You used trust as a weapon.
13:24
You targeted vulnerability and turned it into access. That's not
13:28
a mistake, that's not poor judgment. That is predation. Mom
13:33
of three, Virginia said she was trafficked to have sex
13:36
with a former Duke of York on three occasions, two
13:39
of them when she was seventeen. Andrew denied the allegations
13:43
but later paid her or reported twelve million pounds in
13:47
an out of court settlement. Virginia took her own life
13:51
in April of last year. Former p M. Gordon Brown
13:55
called on the Metropolitan Police to interview Andrew Mountbatten Windsor
13:59
in a peace in the New Statesman. Well that's a
14:02
good idea, and it's time, it is long beyond time
14:07
that Prince Andrew answers questions under oath. And the thing
14:11
that makes me the saddest about all of it is
14:14
that Virginia won't be here to see it, because if
14:17
anyone deserves to be vindicated, it's most certainly of Virginia.
14:23
All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one.
