Congressman Krishnamoorthi Calls on Trump Administration to Secure Testimony of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in Epstein Investigation

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), a senior member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Attorney General Pam Bondi urging the Trump administration to pursue testimony from Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in connection with ongoing investigations into Jeffrey Epstein's network of sexual abuse and trafficking.

In his letter, Congressman Krishnamoorthi wrote that "survivors of Epstein's crimes-and the American public-deserve full transparency and accountability from all who may have had knowledge of or participation in this criminal enterprise."

The congressman emphasized that under the U.S.-U.K. Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), the State and Justice Departments have clear authority to request cooperation from the British government to secure testimony from witnesses abroad. The treaty, he noted, provides for assistance in "the taking of testimony or statements of witnesses" and the "provision of documents, records, and evidence."

"The most transparent and credible course of action would be for Mr. Mountbatten Windsor to appear voluntarily and provide full, sworn testimony regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and any knowledge he may possess about others involved," Congressman Krishnamoorthi wrote. He further urged that, should Mr. Mountbatten Windsor enter U.S. jurisdiction, the administration "must be prepared to compel his cooperation through lawful subpoena authority or other appropriate mechanisms."

Congressman Krishnamoorthi warned that "recent delays in the release of the so-called Epstein Files have only deepened public concern that the Administration may be shielding powerful individuals from scrutiny." He added that "the pursuit of Mr. Mountbatten Windsor's testimony represents an essential test of whether this administration will uphold the principle that no person-no matter how wealthy, well-connected, or titled-is above the law."

The congressman concluded by calling on the administration to ensure that Mountbatten Windsor's testimony and all relevant records are made available to Congress and the public, writing: "Survivors of these horrific crimes, and the American people, deserve nothing less."
