Pressure is growing around the former Prince Andrew as US lawmakers push him to testify in a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, and now the UK’s prime minister has weighed in with comments that turned up the heat even more. Keir Starmer didn’t mention Andrew by name while traveling to the Group of 20 summit in Johannesburg, but he made it clear where he stands on the bigger issue of cooperation.
“I don’t comment on his particular case,’’ Starmer said. “But as a general principle I’ve held for a very long time is that anybody who has got relevant information in relation to these kinds of cases should give that evidence to those that need it.’’ His message wasn’t subtle, and it quickly added to the pressure already building in Washington.
