Lawyer: FBI Didn't Go After Andrew As They Feared Political Row

PRINCE Andrew's royal blood saved him from being probed by the FBI over his links to paedophile friend Jeffrey Epstein, a US lawyer claims.

Lisa Bloom said she had numerous witnesses who could be interviewed about the Duke of York's potential connection to the sex offender and alleged criminal acts - yet no action was taken.

Ms Bloom, who represents five Epstein victims and a witness who claims she saw Andrew with his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre when she was a teenager, claims a decision not to "go after" him was "made at the highest level".

And she was perplexed Andrew's car-crash 2019 interview on Newsnight was not seized upon by the FBI as he made "claims they could probably disprove".
