Pressure mounts on Prince Andrew to talk to FBI about Epstein
London — The fallout from Prince Andrew's controversial TV interview about his friendship with convicted sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein was still intensifying on Thursday morning, five days after it aired. On Wednesday the prince made the stunning announcement that he was stepping back from his royal duties.
But as Andrew appeared briefly Thursday morning for the first time since the explosive interview, giving a wave from his car as he left home, Buckingham Palace was still facing growing pressure from the U.S. for the queen's son to reveal anything he knows about his former friend.
CBS News correspondent Imtiaz Tyab said attorneys for Epstein's victims have said Andrew could have to provide depositions, documents and possibly even face trial himself in the U.S. over his relationship with the disgraced American financier. Epstein was found dead in his New York jail cell earlier this year as he awaited trial on child trafficking charges.
"It's totally extraordinary," Ingrid Seward, veteran royal watcher and editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine told Tyab on Thursday. "You don't expect a member of the royal family to be caught up in the life of a seedy pedophile. You just don't."
