Prince Andrew 'offered to help Jeffrey Epstein prosecutors'
Prince Andrew's lawyers have clashed with US prosecutors over the duke's co-operation with the inquiry.
www.bbc.com
"Geoffrey Berman, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, [responded:] the prince 'has not given an interview to federal authorities, has repeatedly declined our request to schedule such an interview, and nearly four months ago informed us unequivocally... that he would not come in for such an interview.'
He added: 'If Prince Andrew is, in fact, serious about co-operating with the ongoing federal investigation, our doors remain open, and we await word of when we should expect him.'
The duke's lawyers declined to comment further, but a source said: 'This is the third time Berman has breached his own confidentiality rules, further diminishing our trust in the DoJ's willingness to play a straight bat. It's frankly bewildering.'"
By 'playing a straight bat,' Andrew and his lawyers must mean, giving the duke special treatment, assuring nothing the duke admits during conversations will be held against him or revealed publicly. IOW, keeping the duke's involvement with Epstein undercover, under wraps, swept under the rug, and out of any civil or criminal court case.
