U.S. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam asked former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson to submit to questioning in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.
In a March 26 letter, Subramanyam said recently released Justice Department files showed Ferguson had “close personal and business ties” to Epstein and may have information relevant to the committee’s probe into his sex trafficking operation and alleged enablers.

The democrat who serves as the ranking member of the House Oversight Subcommittee, asked her to cooperate with the inquiry and respond by April 9.
“As the committee seeks justice for the survivors of Mr. Epstein’s criminal enterprise, and transparency for the American public, I respectfully request your co-operation with the committee’s investigation,” his letter read.
Subramanyam pointed to emails in which a “Sarah” referred to Epstein as “a legend” after his 2008 conviction and wrote: “I really don’t have the words to describe my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness… I am at your service. Just marry me.”
The letter also cited messages indicating Ferguson asked Epstein for financial assistance, including a request to borrow $50,000 or $100,000, and said Justice Department documents showed he had discussed becoming the majority owner of one of her companies.
It further said Ferguson could have information relevant to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s relationship with Epstein. “The committee is interested in learning more about any knowledge of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s involvement in Mr Epstein’s operations,” the letter said.
The request adds to a broader House Oversight effort to question prominent figures connected to Epstein. In recent months, lawmakers have also sought information from Peter Mandelson and previously asked Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to appear before the committee.
The renewed scrutiny follows the release of millions of U.S. government records related to Epstein this year. Ferguson is named in those files several times, though being mentioned in the records is not itself evidence of wrongdoing.
The political fallout has also spread in Britain. City of York councillors recently voted to revoke Ferguson’s honorary Freedom of the City after fresh revelations about her association with Epstein, who died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
