Congressman Urges King Charles to Meet Epstein Survivors During US Visit

Democratic Representative Ro Khanna requested that King Charles III meet with Jeffrey Epstein's victims during his upcoming state visit to the United States. King Charles III and Queen Camilla are expected to visit America at the end of next month, leading Khanna to pen a letter ahead of the visit.

In the letter, Khanna requested that the King meet privately with the women who were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein so he could hear what they went through. Khanna, a co-author of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, respectfully requested King Charles to meet privately with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's abuse during his U.S. visit.

Khanna introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act into Congress. The act, which released millions of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, revealed that there is more to the saga than originally believed. Khanna continued his letter by writing: «Recent developments in the United Kingdom, including renewed scrutiny of individuals and institutions that had ties to Epstein and his network».

He added: «Epstein’s network included significant ties to the United Kingdom — including Ghislaine Maxwell, through Epstein’s relationships with British public figures, and through the social and political circles Epstein frequented». Khanna concluded, «These questions implicate how Epstein was able to operate with impunity, credibility, and protection in both countries for many years».

Ro Khanna revealed that Congress had contacted Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson asking them to testify before an Oversight Committee regarding their alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied claims that he ever had s-x with Virginia Giuffre, who was 17 at the time, while Epstein was jailed for s-x–l abuse.

Letters were sent asking them to respond by a set deadline, but neither replied, and because they are not U.S. citizens, Congress cannot compel their testimony. In his letter to King Charles III, Khanna wrote, «A meeting with survivors would provide an opportunity to identify any additional information British institutions and individuals may be able to share and open a dialogue about whether there will be a full accounting of how Epstein’s and Maxwell’s network operated in the United Kingdom».

Khanna added, «It would also ensure that survivors are heard directly and that these matters are addressed with transparency, seriousness, and accountability». After the arrest of King Charles’ brother Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the King said the Palace would «stand ready to support» law enforcement if requested as part of the investigation.

Peter Mandelson, a senior Labor figure and former U.K. ambassador to the United States, was also arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office before later being released on bail.

The Jeffrey Epstein case continues to generate controversy and scrutiny, especially in relation to the public figures and institutions that were involved. Congressman Ro Khanna's request to King Charles III underscores the importance of addressing the allegations of sexual abuse and ensuring transparency and accountability.

Transparency is key to shedding light on the activities of Epstein and his associates, as well as determining the extent of their influence. The proposed meeting with the victims could provide a platform to directly hear their experiences and advance the pursuit of justice.
