WASHINGTON — Recent major disclosures Over 20,000 pages of emails and messages The issue of succession to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein has had a huge impact on American politics, and Britain’s former Prince Andrew has been hit hardest.
In addition to references to the Trump incident and the American president in the released emails, Epstein repeats the following assertion: “I can beat him.”The document revived another story of great controversy, a scandal involving a Republican president, similar in some ways to that of Britain’s former Prince Andrew.
In the midst of President Trump’s fierce defense, it was the White House that inadvertently built a bridge between both scandals.
Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt responded to the email revelations that referred to an unidentified “victim” who spent hours with Trump at Epstein’s home, identifying the person as follows: Virginia Giuffre.
Levitt quickly pointed out that in their exchange, Giuffre “repeatedly stated that President Trump had not engaged in any wrongdoing and ‘couldn’t have been kinder.'” But the mention of Giuffre immediately brings to mind Prince Andrew’s shadow.
Giuffre is the same woman. Prince Andrew accused She was accused by Britain and other influential men of sexually exploiting her when she was a teenager.
Andrew, who was stripped of his royal title and expelled from the royal residence by King Charles III because of his relationship with Epstein, has always stood firm against Giuffre’s accusations and rejected them. And he said he didn’t remember meeting her.
But Epstein’s emails released by the House Oversight Committee cast further doubt on Andres’ explanation and denials.
The man, now officially known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, claimed to have severed ties with child sex offender Epstein in late 2010. email show revealed Message sent in March 2011from Andres to Epstein.
2011 letter reveals former royal’s panic over newspaper accusations sunday mail. Andres wrote to pedophile and Ghislaine Maxwell: “I can’t take it anymore.”.
What’s even worse is that email clearly helps. The authenticity of the infamous photo The photo, taken in 2001, shows Prince Andrew posing next to Giuffre, 17, with his arms around her waist.
Epstein himself seems to acknowledge this in a 2011 email: “Yes, she was on my plane, and like many of my employees, she took a photo with Andres.”.
This confirmation, which came from Epstein’s own estate, is in direct conflict with the defense the former prince gave in a 2019 interview, in which he denied any wrongdoing, suggested the photo may have been manipulated, and declared: “I had no recollection of it at all.” That it had been taken.
This document provides a glimpse into Andres’ desperate situation at the time.
In another thread, he seemed to blame Maxwell for this. “Hey! What the hell is this? I don’t know anything about this! Please tell me. This has nothing to do with me. I can’t take it anymore.”.
Mr. Andres later clarified his denial strategy in another letter: Please clearly state that I am not involved And I did not know anything about these accusations and I do not know anything, ”he wrote in capital letters.
While Andres sought to distance himself, Epstein sought to discredit his accusers.
Financiers seemed interested in asking journalists to investigate. “The Accuser of Andres” because Buckingham: “I would love to do that.”.
In July 2011, Epstein discredited Giuffre and called for “one or more reporters” to be sent to investigate “the girl in the photo.”
In that email, she said she was “nothing more than a telephone operator” and that “according to her own interpretation,” she worked for President Trump at Mar-a-Lago “at that age.” “That’s ridiculous,” he wrote.
To Epstein, Giuffre was a “complete liar” and everything she said was “pure gossip.” In another exchange, he claimed: daily mail He paid her to “reveal the truth” in an attempt to further discredit her.
Despite Mr. Andres’s desperate efforts to sever ties with him and Mr. Epstein’s strategy to overturn his accusers, the damage was irreparable.
In his posthumous memoir, Giuffre claimed: She was forced to have sexual relations with the former prince three times: Maxwell’s house in London, Epstein’s house in Manhattan, and the financier’s private island.
Ultimately, the scandal became an unsustainable burden on the British royal family. The publication of Giuffre’s memoirs and the distribution of documents from Epstein’s estate led King Charles III to make a drastic decision: Strip title from Andres And so his life in public life ends.
While Epstein’s emails about Trump revealed a ruthless calculation to use the former president as president; “Politics/Public Relations Currency”the revelations about Andres show the dangerous intimacy of Epstein’s circle.
The White House statement was intended to defend Trump, but ended up highlighting how the victim, Giuffre, who allegedly witnessed Trump, was also the catalyst for the crime. destroyed the public life of the prince, who now no longer holds that title..
