Prosecutors in New York ask to talk to Prince Andrew in Epstein investigation
By John Bowden - 06/08/20 09:38 AM EDT
Federal prosecutors in New York have moved to formally request Prince Andrew's cooperation with a sexual abuse investigation into Jeffrey Epstein after the British royal declined an interview with authorities earlier this year.
NBC News reported Monday that Justice Department attorneys want to invoke the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with the U.K. in a rare step to summon a British official in a U.S. legal matter.
Prosecutors declined to comment when contacted by NBC.
Andrew, a longtime friend of Epstein, has been accused by one woman of sexual abuse when she was 17.
