Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) called on the Trump administration to take immediate action to secure testimony from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as part of ongoing investigations into Jeffrey Epstein’s network of sexual abuse and trafficking.
In a letter dated Nov. 7 and addressed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Attorney General Pam Bondi, Krishnamoorthi, a senior member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, urged the administration to invoke provisions under the U.S.–U.K. Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) to request cooperation from the British government.

The treaty authorizes assistance in “the taking of testimony or statements of witnesses” and the “provision of documents, records, and evidence.”
“Survivors of Epstein’s crimes—and the American public—deserve full transparency and accountability from all who may have had knowledge of or participation in this criminal enterprise,” Krishnamoorthi wrote.
He added that “the most transparent and credible course of action would be for Mountbatten Windsor to appear voluntarily and provide full, sworn testimony regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and any knowledge he may possess about others involved.”
The congressman said that if Mountbatten-Windsor were to enter U.S. jurisdiction, the administration “must be prepared to compel his cooperation through lawful subpoena authority or other appropriate mechanisms.”
Krishnamoorthi also raised concerns about delays in releasing the “Epstein Files,” warning that the setbacks “have only deepened public concern that the Administration may be shielding powerful individuals from scrutiny.”
He argued that securing Mountbatten Windsor’s testimony represents “an essential test of whether this administration will uphold the principle that no person—no matter how wealthy, well-connected, or titled—is above the law.”
He concluded by urging the State and Justice Departments to ensure that both the testimony and all relevant records are made accessible to Congress and the public. “Survivors of these horrific crimes, and the American people, deserve nothing less,” he wrote.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, Duke of York, has faced sustained scrutiny over his ties to Epstein.
Earlier this month , King Charles III formally stripped him of his remaining royal titles via Letters Patent, in a move described as unprecedented in modern royal history.
