Prince Andrew has appeared in newly released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein in the United States. The Duke of York is identified as a passenger on Epstein’s private jet, along with a mention of Elon Musk possibly visiting Epstein’s island. The files, disclosed by Democrats in the House Oversight Committee, reveal Andrew’s presence on a flight from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida, in the company of Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and two other individuals whose names were redacted. The flight occurred on May 12, 2000.
Previous court proceedings during Maxwell’s trial highlighted Andrew’s connection to Epstein’s private jet, with a witness recalling traveling with Andrew when she was 14. Despite these revelations, the Duke vehemently denies any misconduct. The individuals mentioned were associated with Epstein, but there is no implication that they were complicit in his illegal activities.
Meanwhile, Musk is noted as a potential visitor to Epstein’s island on December 6, 2014, several years after Epstein’s sex offender listing. Musk’s name is found in Epstein’s daily agenda, raising questions about a planned visit. Musk had previously suggested impeaching President Donald Trump and accused the administration of concealing information about Trump’s ties to Epstein, but later removed posts mentioning Epstein.
Recent disclosures include an email from Sarah, Duchess of York, to Epstein, expressing regret for distancing herself from him publicly. The email, where she referred to Epstein as a “supreme friend,” was prompted by Epstein’s threats of defamation lawsuits against her. This correspondence led to the Duchess losing support from numerous charities she was associated with.
Epstein, awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019, with his death ruled as suicide.
