What the DOJ’s Epstein files said about Prince Andrew

It is unclear what other elements of the files might be currently under investigation, though Thames Valley Police previously told the BBC it was assessing whether there are grounds to investigate a complaint by the anti-monarchy group Republic, which has advocated “a private prosecution against Andrew over allegations of sexual assault, corruption and misconduct in public office.”
