Virginia Giuffre's family 'told Andrew can't be investigated over Epstein files' as he is 'refusing to co-operate' with US attorney general

Published: 21:07, 17 July 2026 | Updated: 21:17, 17 July 2026 The family of the late Virginia Giuffre have said the United States acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has said he is unable to investigate allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the Epstein files because the former prince is 'refusing to co-operate'. Mr Blanche met Ms Giuffre's brother and sister-in-law - Sky and Amanda Roberts - as well as other survivors of Jeffrey Epstein after Republican senators threatened to scupper his confirmation as Attorney General.  President Trump's nominee for the top job spent an hour on Thursday evening at the Department of Justice headquarters in Washington with the group of Epstein victims, who have blasted the White House's handling of its investigation into the sex offender. Criticism has also come from Trump's own party, with the outgoing senator for North Carolina Thom Tillis indicating he would not vote to advance Mr Blanche's nomination until he met the survivors. During the meeting, Mr Roberts confronted the acting Attorney General about the investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators. Speaking to The Times, he said: 'Well I said, "Let me give you an example: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor." 'Virginia provided testimony and she provided evidence, is that not an investigative lead? He said, "Well, he won't co-operate with me," and he also said, "Virginia's not here so I can't use that testimony." It just felt like he wasn't willing to work with us.' Ms Giuffre, who died last year, accused Andrew of having sex with her on three separate occasions while she was being sex trafficked by Epstein.
