British Detectives Want Epstein Files — But Washington Holds the Keys (5/25/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. Well, I know this is going to shock
0:07
a lot of people out there, but the Trump Justice
0:10
Department is running roadblocks when it comes to the UK
0:14
getting information about Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein. And according
0:18
to new reports coming out of the UK, due to
0:21
this roadblock, they might not be able to bring their
0:24
case or charges, or even decide on those charges before
0:28
twenty twenty seven. And in my opinion, the whole entire
0:31
point is office Gate to keep this going long enough
0:36
that Trump's out of office, and that's the plan of
0:38
the administration, to kick the can down the road and
0:42
make it somebody else's problem. Because if they think this
0:44
is going away because Donald Trump and his supporters who
0:48
are here temporarily by the way, you know, elections happen
0:52
all the time. If they think that this is going
0:54
to go away because they wanted to, they're wrong. Eventually
0:59
there's going to be new leadership and there's going to
1:02
be a fresh look. And I hope at that time
1:05
a special Council is appointed and every single person that
1:09
was part of this cover up gets exactly what's coming
1:11
to them. Legally, speaking, because that's what everybody deserves. You
1:18
want to cover up this bullshit. Cool. You might not
1:21
have been involved with Epstein, but you're certainly involved in
1:24
covering up the crimes now. And just like in Watergate,
1:29
it's the cover up, stupid, not the actual crime. Today's
1:34
article is from the Deli Mail and the headline Andrew
1:36
detective probing his links with Jeffrey Epstein are being frustrated
1:41
by the US Department of Justice and won't be able
1:43
to decide on charges before twenty twenty seven. This article
1:48
was authored by Elizabeth Hey. Detectives probing Andrew mount Batten
1:53
Winsor's links to Jeffrey Epstein are being frustrated by the
1:57
US Department of Justice and won't be able to send
1:59
the key to the CPS to decide on any charges
2:03
before twenty twenty seven, all by design. I hate to
2:07
say it, but it's true. If the Justice Department wanted
2:10
to help out, they would, But they know that Prince
2:14
Andrew has the goods And I have a funny feeling
2:17
that if Prince Andrew is facing decades in prison, but
2:21
he's going to have a lot to say, and who
2:23
the fuck knows what kind of wild shit is going
2:26
to come out of his mouth. So I'm sure there's
2:29
people over here in the DOJ that want to protect
2:32
their guys, you know, the Epstein administration. So they don't
2:37
want to turn this information over to the UK because
2:40
then it's out of their control, out of their hands.
2:42
Once they give the information to the UK, it's not
2:45
up to them anymore, and God forbid they seed power.
2:50
Police are said to be struggling following his arrest in
2:53
February on suspicion of misconduct in public office, in part
2:57
because they're not yet to receive any help from American investigators.
3:02
So pathetic but expected, especially after what happened in Iran.
3:09
I mean, you had Kira Starmer thumbing his nose at
3:11
Donald Trump. You thought that Donald Trump wasn't going to
3:13
get some get back mister petty himself. Of course, he's
3:18
going to get some get back, and if that means
3:21
smothering the Epstein story a little bit more at the
3:24
same time, all the better. Andrew was detained after details
3:29
about his friendship with pedophile Epstein were revealed in documents
3:33
released by the US government. Emails appeared to show that
3:37
the former Duke of York passed reports of official visits
3:40
to countries including Singapore and Vietnam as part of his
3:44
role as UK Trade envoy to Epstein. But Tames Valley
3:48
Police this week confirmed it's holding a wider probe into
3:52
other allegations against Andrew, ends appealing for anyone with information
3:56
to come forward, and I've heard that plenty of people
3:59
are coming forward. Now I don't know what kind of
4:03
tangible evidence they're going to provide, but the fact that
4:06
people are coming forward is a big deal. And once
4:09
the dam breaks, then that's when we usually get a
4:13
bunch of allegations come tumbling in and I think we're
4:16
getting close to that point when it comes to Andrew.
4:22
The Force is said to be concerned about a public
4:24
perception that only the alleged sharing of official information with
4:28
Epstein is being investigated, and only misconduct involving the state
4:32
rather than individuals. As part of this, it's stressed it's
4:36
also looking into a claim that a woman was brought
4:39
to the UK to have sex with Andrew Virginia, and
4:43
we also know about the massage therapists that were sneaked
4:45
into Buckingham Palace. With such a wide scope, the investigation
4:50
could take up to two years. The CPS is not
4:53
expected to be able to bring any charges before twenty
4:56
twenty seven, and look that's to be expected. Do your
4:59
due DELI dgens, look for evidence, make sure you have
5:02
all your ducks in a row, and make sure you
5:05
have the right people on the job. That's what they
5:08
should be doing. This isn't the kind of investigation that
5:11
you put a rush on, right you have to be
5:14
very meticulous. You're dealing with very powerful people and you
5:18
know that they're going to find a way or try
5:20
to find a way to wiggle off the hook. So
5:22
you have to come correct and you have to make
5:24
sure you have all the evidence that you could possibly have.
5:27
And I hope that's what's going on in the UK,
5:30
but it's going to be hard for that to occur
5:32
if America doesn't play ball. Misconduct in public office is
5:37
a notoriously difficult charge to prove, but can encompass anything
5:41
from sexual misconduct to corruption, dishonesty and improper influence, and
5:46
it carries a maximum life sentence in prison. I don't
5:50
think that's going to happen. Life sentence doubtful, But I
5:54
think Prince Andrew is in the most serious jeopardy he's
5:57
ever been in, and I think that if the UK
6:00
authorities do their due diligence, we might see Prince Andrew
6:04
behind bars. And if you would have told me that
6:07
five years ago, I would have told you that you
6:09
were a smoking dope. But here we are, and it's
6:13
the persistence of people like you that have led us
6:15
to this place. Investigators must find evidence that Andrew deliberately
6:20
acted in a way he knew was wrong while holding
6:22
public office, or that he acted with willful neglect. I
6:26
don't think that's difficult. I mean, we saw in those
6:28
emails it was obviously neglectful and he knew what he
6:32
was doing. Question is can they prove it. A key
6:37
part of Detective's investigation rest on obtaining unredacted copies of
6:41
the emails released in the Epstein files from the Department
6:44
of Justice. They have had to make a formal request
6:48
to access the emails with the originals needed to launch
6:51
any prosecution under a legal agreement between Britain and the
6:55
United States. The process used to try and obtain the
6:59
documents takes around a year, and there's no guarantee that
7:02
they will be released. So far, it's understood no such
7:06
files have been shared with the Thames Valley Police. Pathetic,
7:11
absolutely pathetic. Tell me there's not a cover up going on,
7:16
and tell me that that cover up is in being
7:18
directed from the White House. Earlier this year that he
7:24
had of met police. Sir Mark Raleigh traveled to Washington
7:27
himself to press for the release of unreadacted exchanges between
7:31
Epstein and Peter Mandelssohn. Mandelssohn was also previously arrested on
7:35
suspicion of misconduct and public office for his contact with
7:39
the pedophile while in government. Both Andrew and Mandelssohn deny
7:43
any wrongdoing. It comes as a force issued a major
7:47
update in their investigation this week and said officers were
7:50
broadening the probe to, amongst other matters, look into sexual
7:54
misconduct and corruption. And that's how it works. This is
7:59
what I spec you related when the case was first
8:01
brought that they'd broaden it. They always do. And if
8:05
he gets indicted, look for a superseded indictment because once
8:10
they have you, they have you, and once they start
8:13
digging into your life, they're going to find a bunch
8:15
of shit that they can charge you with, especially when
8:18
you're as corrupt as bitch, ask Prince Andrew. Police seized
8:23
evidence and raids of Andrew's former home at Royal Lodge,
8:26
Windsor and his new property on the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk,
8:30
which officers are now said to be carefully working through
8:34
and who the fuck knows what kind of evidence they grabbed,
8:36
I mean, videos, phones, books, who knows. Officers have already
8:45
conducted interviews with multiple witnesses and have appeal for victim
8:48
survivors to come forward. They've already been in touch with
8:52
the Crown Prosecution Service for early investigative advice, practice common
8:57
in complex and serious investigations. LA four said it was
9:02
still assessing reports that a woman in her twenties was
9:05
sent by Epstein to the UK to have sex with
9:07
Andrew in twenty ten. That's human trafficking, even if she's
9:11
over age. Do people not understand that? You add all
9:15
these women and girls from all these different countries being
9:19
trafficked being sent to people like Andrew, and I don't
9:23
think there's any doubt about that at this point, plenty
9:26
of evidence backing it up. She is said to have
9:31
spent the night with the then Prince at Royal Lodge
9:33
before later having tea and being given a tour of
9:36
Buckingham Palace. She's the only Epstein accuser who says she
9:40
slept with Andrew at a royal residence. Detectives have spoken
9:45
to lawyer Brad Edwards for the alleged victim, who has
9:48
not been identified, but officers are yet to carry out
9:51
interviews because she has not made a formal complaint to
9:54
the police. In an interview with The Daily mel earlier
9:58
this year, mister Edwards said of his client, she was
10:00
severely exploited by Jeffrey Epstein. An extension of that was
10:05
the exploitation of her by Prince Andrew. She's a strong person.
10:09
She wants to believe in justice, but it's very difficult
10:11
in light of what she knows. We need some cooperation
10:14
and we need somebody with a conscience and a real
10:16
desire to make things right. Yeah, good luck, good luck
10:20
finding that we're in short supply of that shit. Mister
10:24
Edwards represents more than two hundred victims of Epstein and
10:28
previously called for the Palace to sit down with his
10:30
clients to discuss her allegations. Meanwhile, the family of Virginia Roberts,
10:35
who was also alleged that to beIN trafficked to the
10:38
UK by Epstein for sex with Andrew said the police
10:41
update is huge and it gives them hope. Speaking the
10:44
Sky News on Friday, Miss Robert's sister in law, Amanda Roberts, said,
10:49
I think initially it's very encouraging. You know, initially it
10:52
was only we were hearing that it was going to
10:54
be investigations of conduct like sharing government information. And to
10:58
hear that potential of an investigating sexual crimes, that's huge.
11:02
It's more than we're seeing here in this country, and
11:05
that actually gives us home. That's true, and it's pathetic,
11:09
but it's true, and that's why I'm calling for the
11:11
estates to get more active. New York, Florida, New Mexico,
11:16
everywhere that Epstein was needs to get active at a
11:19
local level and if crimes were committed in your state,
11:23
you can go after these people. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver
11:28
Wright said the force had assembled a dedicated team of
11:31
its most experienced specialist investigators, which include detectives experienced in
11:35
investigating serious sexual attacks and financial experts. He confirmed that
11:40
they had spoken to a number of witnesses, but said
11:43
he hopes others will come forward. To shed light on
11:45
Andrew's relationship with the pedophile. I really want to stress
11:50
that our door is open whenever a victim survivor is
11:53
ready to engage with us, We're ready for you at
11:56
whatever point that may be, the Assistant Chief Constable said,
12:00
in terms of Epstein's victims and survivors, we hope that
12:03
anyone with relevant information will come forward. Describing progress in
12:07
the investigation, he said, we have been working really closely
12:10
with the Department of Justice office in the US seeking
12:14
further information that may be related to this investigation. We
12:18
have also been working really closely with CPS. There's a
12:21
number of aspects of allegedmis conduct that the investigation is examining,
12:25
so we're speaking with a range of witnesses. We do
12:28
really want to get the message across that we're encouraging
12:31
anyone with information to get in touch with us. He
12:35
warned that the inquiry could take months before detectives are
12:37
ready to submit a file of evidence to the CPS
12:40
to consider whether to bring criminal charges. The senior officer added,
12:45
the investigation is by necessity hugely thorough and will take time.
12:50
We're proceeding with real care and caution. The update came
12:55
just days after the release of new documents on Thursday
12:58
relating to Andrew's appointment as Trade Envoy. They revealed that
13:02
the Queen was very keen for her son to take
13:04
a prominent role in the promotion of national interest when
13:07
her cousin, the Duke of Kent, stepped down from the role.
13:12
The Queen was right in the mix when it comes
13:14
to defending Prince Andrew and making sure that he was
13:17
enabled this whole entire time. Now, I'm not willing to
13:21
say that she knew exactly what he was up to,
13:24
but I'm not going to say she didn't know either,
13:27
because it would be very difficult for me to believe
13:30
that the Queen's people, her counsel, everyone around her isn't
13:35
going to tell her, Look, there's some smoke here, and
13:39
not only is there some smoke, there's some fire. So
13:43
I think the Queen had a blind spot for Andrew,
13:45
and I think that she was willing to overlook everything
13:49
he was up to, even though it brought great shame
13:52
to the family. Andrew had a preference for missions to
13:56
sophisticated countries, but should not be burdened with the meetings
13:59
in paperwork soitiated with the role the files released by
14:02
the government showed. So in other words, I'm not coming
14:05
to any of these third world countries. I only want
14:07
to go where I can pill for money from rich people,
14:11
basically what he's saying. The fifteen page document was published
14:15
following pressure from MPs. Detectives are also speaking to officials
14:20
in the Cabinet Office and Buckingham Palace, which has previously
14:24
released a statement confirming staff stand ready to support the police.
14:29
So look, the investigation into Andrew continues, and not only that,
14:33
but it's growing and right now the one thing holding
14:35
it back is a Trump administration and their refusal to
14:39
play ball. So now we wait. We wait for the
14:42
process to make its way through the courts, and then
14:45
we wait to see, even if ordered to do so,
14:48
if the Trump administration provides the UK authorities what they're
14:51
looking for. I mean, considering how they've treated the Epstein
14:54
files release here in America, you know they're going to
14:56
drag their feet. So we'll have to see what's what,
15:00
and we'll have to see what the court says. Now
15:01
that the court looks like they're going to get involved,
15:06
all the information that goes with this episode can be
15:08
found in the description box.
