Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. In the wake of former Prince Andrew being arrested,
I told you that it was just the first step
for the investigators when it comes to their overall look
at what Andrew might have been up to. And well
we're certainly hearing that now because according to the Met Police,
they're probing a whole range of sexual allegations against Andrew
and says that Peter Mandelsson is being investigated over a
five hundred billion dollar bell out email that he sent
to Jeffrey Epstein. So Prince Andrew got himself caught up
in this by the emails, right, procedural emails sending things
to Epstein that Epstein wasn't supposed to receive, and that
opened the door. And once the door's opened, well who
knows where the investigators are going to go. And when
it comes to somebody like Andrew with all these skeletons
in his closet, not exactly a very comfortable situation to
be in. And for me, this was always going to
be the result. Once you have an investigation kicked off
into you, do you really think that they just stop
at the initial allegation or do you think they flip
your life upside down as they look for anything that
might be considered criminal. And the former Prince Andrew is
now finding that out. And that's why I'm so adamant
about arresting people who have committed crimes here in America,
even if it's just procedural, even if it just has
to do with finances, whatever it might be, because it
opens that door. Now. Look, I'm not going to sit
here and tell you that it's going to end up
with Andrew being charged. I don't know, but he's completely
exposed now and it's not just for emails. They're looking
into everything. So it's going to be real interesting to
see how this ends up. Today's article is from the
Daily Mail and the headline met police probeing a whole
range of sexual allegations against Andrew. Chief confirms and says
Peter Mandelsson is being investigated over five hundred billion dollar
bellout email he sent Jeffrey Epstein. This article was authored
by Mark Duel. Scotland Yard is investigating a whole range
of sexual allegations against Andrew mount bat and Winsor to
see if they married. A criminal investigation it's chief, says well,
I would say so. I think that there's plenty here,
But the one caveat to that is with Virginia not
being with us anymore, it might be difficult for them
to prosecute, right, So we'll have to see where it goes.
But I really feel like Andrew is exposed here and
that the Joe exotic of the Windsor family for the
first time in his life, is seriously in legal jeopardy.
Andrew was accused of having sex with jeffreyp Stein's revivor,
Virginia Roberts, three times, including when she was seventeen, after
being trafficked by the pedophile financier. The former prince was
arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office
overclaims he shared sensitive information with Epstein when he was
the UK's trade envoy, but Andrew has not been arrested
in relation to any sex offenses. Well, that's what I
said in the beginning. They're going to nail them on
what they can prove right now, or what they think
they can prove, and then that opens the door for
further investigation. So you'll see the first indictment, right and
now I'm not talking about Andrew, but overall, so you'll
see the first indictment and then later on they'll supersed
that indictment and add more charges if more charges are necessary.
So that's basically the process we're seeing here. They had
their initial investigation and now that door's open and they're
walking through it. Metro Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rally said
the force felt claims made by Miss Roberts across four
video recorded interviews could not support a probe. Sir Mark,
speaking during a visit to Washington, told ABC News those
interviews didn't give us any evidence or any allegations of
sexual offending or trafficking that we could investigate in the UK.
So that's why the investigation didn't go forward. I don't
believe that for a second. Sorry, that's a bunch of bs.
And the whole entire thing was created to protect Andrew
all it to behested the Queen. By the way, Queen
Elizabeth was huge in enabling Prince Andrew's bullshit and unfortunately
it's proving disastrous for the royal family. But speaking about
the new probe, Sir Mark added, those investigations all go
wherever the evidence takes them quite comfortable with investigating sort
of famous or powerful people. I think it's really important
for policing to do that, that sense of operating without
fear or favor. The law applies equally to everyone and
those cases will go say wherever the evidence leads us. Well,
I wish I could believe that that would be great,
but history has shown us that Scotland Yard has no
desire to investigate Epstein. Sir Mark said the MET is
also looking into an email Peter Mandelssyn said to Epstein
as he urged the US authorities to release uneradacted correspondence. Well,
I don't see why the US wouldn't do that. I mean,
if we have some information about Mandelssin that could help
the UK, we should definitely release that to them. But
we have to remember who we're dealing with, and if
they want the cover up to continue, maybe they decide
that they don't even want to help the UK and
they just keep the files to themselves. Got to make
sure the cover ups are protected, no matter what right.
Mandelsshn was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office
after being accused of disclosing sensitive information to Abstein when
Business secretary. The email that Mandelsyn sent to Epstein appears
to show he confirmed an eminent five hundred billion pound
ballout package for the euro that day before it was
announced in twenty ten. The message released by US authorities
in January as part of the Epstein files appeared to
have been sent to Abstein after he became a convicted
sex offender. Another email from two thousand and nine also
appears to show Mandelssinn passed on an assessment by Gordon
Brown's advisor of potential policy measures, including an asset sales plan,
and that he appeared to discuss attax on banker's bonus.
All stuff that's very relevant to Jeffrey Epstein, right, stuff
that he can use to manipulate the market. And in
my opinion, there is not even any gray area here
for Mandelssyn to try and defend himself. You sent these emails, right,
You sent the information to Epstein and he didn't have clearance.
It seems pretty damn clear cut to me. On May ninth,
twenty ten, in the last days of mister Brown's government,
Epstein emailed Mandelsn saying, sources tell me a five hundred
billion eurobell Out almost complete. The reply from a redacted
address or number said SD be announced tonight. A massive
rescue package was agreed by Brussels in the early morning
hours of May tenth. Everything's about market manipulation. Everything's about
trying to get the advantage. And they already have the
advantage considering they're billionaires, but they have to have more, right,
It's never enough. It's like the lady who claims that
she's starving to death because she doesn't have a loaf
of bread, but she has a Virginia ham stuffed under
her arm. I mean, what are we doing here? Said
with Peter Mandelsson, the former ambassador. There is a particular
email to do with the bell out after the financial crash,
I think in two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine.
It looks like it was shared with Epstein. So we're
looking at that as to whether that's a criminal offense.
And then colleagues in Thames Valley are looking at other
documents that Andrew Mountbatten winsor potentially shared and several forces together.
There's a whole range that suggested sexual allegations and those
are being assessed at the moment to see whether any
of them do actually merit a criminal investigation, and I
would say they do. I think there is plenty here
for at the very least an investigation. Now does that
mean it's going to end up in convictions, of course not.
But all I've ever called for is a robust investigation.
But for that to happen, the government would have to
be transparent and they'd have to be willing to take
ownership of the fact that that they created Jeffrey Epstein,
and for the government, that is a bridge that is
way too far. Sir Mark's visit to America this week
follows a meeting with US Ambassador Warren Stevens last month,
with the issue of releasing unredacted correspondence raised during the
meeting on February twenty fourth, Sir Mark said, of course,
there's a big body of that evidence in the US,
in all those files, and at some stage we're going
to need the unredacted evidence. We need the original copy
and where did it come from, And that's going to
be necessary if we get to the stage of court cases.
Imagine if America decides they're not going to share this
with the UK, and that kills the case. I wish
I could say that there's no way that could happen,
but that's not true. Remember who is running America right now,
and remember how far they're willing to go to keep
all of this secret. The US Department of Justice released
millions of pages of docum mints related to Epstein in January,
with some of the other pages showing the extent of
the connection between Mandelssohn and the sex offender. Mandelssohn lost
his job as the UK's ambassador to the US in
September last year due to his association with Epstein. He
was arrested last month and subsequently bailed, but later released
from his bell conditions, although he remains under investigation. The
MET has already made contact with US authorities to seek
further detail on what has been disclosed in the files.
It's unclear whether the Force will have to submit a
formal mutual legal assistance request to gain access to the
unredacted files, a process that would take substantially longer. The
US authorities previously sent an MLA to the Home Office
requesting Andrew's assistance as an alleged witness to Epstein's offending,
and that went nowhere. Like usual, the former Prince is
also the subject of a misconduct in public office investigation,
which is being led by the Thames Valley Police. Andrew
and Mandelssohn have both strenuously denied any wrongdoing. When it
comes to Andrew, I always knew that this door was
going to get opened, and I knew that eventually the
floodgates would break. And here we are. So the question
is where do we go from here. All the information
