US Congress Member Urges Sarah Ferguson to Testify in Jeffrey Epstein Scandal
Diplomatic and legal pressure is now directed straight at Sarah Ferguson. A member of the United States Congress has made a direct request to the former wife of Prince Andrew to provide testimony regarding her “close personal and business relationship” with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Based on an exclusive letter seen by the BBC, Democratic Congressman Suhas Subramanyam is urging Ferguson to provide information to the US investigative committee. Additionally, Ferguson is asked to disclose her knowledge of her former husband’s involvement, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, in Epstein’s operations.
“As the committee seeks justice for the survivors of Mr Epstein’s criminal enterprise, and transparency for the American public, I respectfully request your cooperation in this committee’s investigation,” wrote Subramanyam in the letter sent on Thursday (26/3) local time.
The letter refers to documents from the US Department of Justice released recently. Those documents reveal a series of emails showing Ferguson’s closeness to Epstein. In one message after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, a figure named “Sarah” described Epstein as a “legend” and wrote, “I’m ready to help you. Just marry me.”
The documents also imply that Ferguson once directly requested financial assistance from the financier. Although divorced from Andrew in 1996, Ferguson is considered to possess crucial information.
“It is clear that you had social and business ties to Mr Epstein and have knowledge that can assist our investigation,” added Subramanyam. The committee has set a deadline of 9 April 2026 for Ferguson to respond.
Although inclusion of a name in the Epstein documents does not indicate a legal violation, this has significantly damaged Ferguson’s reputation. She is portrayed as a figure who persistently sought financial support and is reported to have once called Epstein “the brother I always wanted.”
The impact of this scandal is increasingly spreading for Ferguson in the UK:
To date, there is no legal mechanism that can compel Ferguson to testify in the United States due to her citizenship status. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s side has consistently denied any wrongdoing regarding his relationship with Epstein.
However, the pressure is not only coming from politicians. Representatives of Virginia Giuffre’s family, one of Epstein’s main accusers, have expressed strong support for Ferguson to provide answers in the United States for the sake of justice for the victims.
