"The vice president told the London-basedDaily Mail Tuesday that he would be "open" to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor testifying before Congress, noting that U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggested he should do so. But he said it would be Congress' call. Mountbatten-Windsor has faced scrutiny for years after Virginia Giuffre alleged in 2015 that she was trafficked by Epstein and had a sexual relationship with the British former prince while underage. He denies any wrongdoing."
"Zoom in: On Elon Musk and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick being mentioned in the files, Trump told reporters Tuesday: "You mentioned two names. I'm sure they're fine. Otherwise it would have been major headlines." Trump maintained his position that he was never "friendly" with Epstein. "Now that nothing came out about me, other than it was a conspiracy against me, literally, by Epstein and other people, I think it's time now for the country to maybe get onto something else," he told reporters Tuesday."
Growing GOP tension centers on whether newly released Epstein-related files should prompt further investigation or be politically set aside. The vice president said he would be "open" to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor testifying before Congress, noting U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggested it, but emphasized that Congress would decide. Mountbatten-Windsor denies wrongdoing after Virginia Giuffre's 2015 allegations and faces renewed scrutiny as British police probe allegations tied to the latest files. Trump downplayed mentions of Elon Musk and Howard Lutnick, maintained he was not "friendly" with Epstein, characterized allegations against him as a conspiracy, and expressed sympathy for Bill and Hillary Clinton, who agreed to testify.
