LONDON Britains Metropolitan Police are actively looking into reports that Prince Andrew tried to obtain personal information about his accuser Virginia Giuffre, a spokesperson for the force told NBC News on Sunday.
Giuffre, who died by suicide in April at the age of 41, had alleged that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her to his powerful friends, including Andrew, against whom she filed a lawsuit in 2021 alleging that he sexually abused her when she was 17.
British newspaper the Mail on Sunday reported that Andrew asked his police protection officer to investigate Giuffre before a photo was published in February 2011, showing Andrew with his arm around Giuffre. The newspaper cited an email reportedly containing a request from Andrew, not seen by NBC News.
Britains Sunday Telegraph also claimed that Andrew sought to dig up dirt on Giuffre. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said the force is actively looking into the claims made.

He's sick.

This is a mere glimpse of what's in the epstein files and why trump is obsessed with keeping them covered up to the point of keeping the government shut down, and his never-ending stream of distractions that the media slavishly chases.
