Pressure Mounts on Andrew Over Epstein Case

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is under renewed pressure from US lawmakers and relatives of Virginia Giuffre to testify in the United States over his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In an interview with the BBC, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna criticized the Royal Family for what he described as a lack of transparency. He suggested it would be appropriate for Andrew to appear before US authorities. Fellow Democrat Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez went further, urging King Charles III to instruct his brother to travel to the US and answer questions before Congress. On Monday, Buckingham Palace signaled a willingness to cooperate with law enforcement. A spokesperson said the Royal Family stood “ready to support” police if formally approached. The statement added that the King had expressed “profound concern” over the allegations involving his brother and that both the King and Queen’s […]

Ghislaine Maxwell refuses to testify before US Congress

Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, declined to answer questions from the US House Oversight Committee on Monday, invoking her constitutional right to remain silent. Maxwell appeared by video link from a federal prison in Texas, where she is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. The closed-door deposition was part of a congressional investigation into Epstein’s crimes and possible accomplices. House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer said Maxwell repeatedly pleaded the Fifth Amendment, which protects individuals from self-incrimination. “This is obviously very disappointing,” the Republican lawmaker said, adding that the committee had hoped to question her about Epstein’s criminal network and any potential co-conspirators. Comer stressed that the investigation aims to uncover the full truth and deliver justice for survivors of Epstein’s abuse. He also said that testimony from victims made clear that Maxwell […]

Clintons demand public hearing for Epstein testimony

Former US president Bill Clinton and ex secretary of state Hillary Clinton have asked that their upcoming testimony to Congress about ties to Jeffrey Epstein be held in public rather than behind closed doors.​ Both were ordered to give depositions before the Republican led House Oversight Committee, which is examining Epstein’s links to influential figures and how authorities handled information about his crimes. Hillary is scheduled to appear on February 26, with Bill to follow on February 27.​ Democrats argue the investigation is being used to attack political opponents of President Donald Trump, a longtime associate of Epstein who has not been called to testify. Republicans had earlier threatened the Clintons with a contempt vote if they refused to appear, but the couple have agreed to cooperate.​ Bill Clinton said holding the session in private would resemble a “kangaroo court” […]

US lawmakers arrive in Copenhagen to counter Trump’s Greenland threats

A bipartisan delegation of US lawmakers has arrived in Copenhagen to reassure Denmark and Greenland of strong congressional support amid President Donald Trump’s renewed threats to seize the Arctic island. Trump has called Greenland vital to US national security because of its strategic location and mineral wealth and has refused to rule out the possible use of force to acquire it.​ The 11‑member delegation is led by Democratic Senator Chris Coons and includes Republicans such as Senators Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski, who have publicly pushed back against any military move on Greenland. They plan to meet Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic leaders to deliver a clear message that Congress stands firmly with NATO allies and supports Denmark’s sovereignty over the territory.​ Their visit follows high‑level talks in Washington between Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Greenland’s Foreign […]

Trump wields first vetoes of his second term

US President Donald Trump has vetoed two bipartisan bills for the first time in his second term, blocking a Colorado water project and the expansion of a Native American reservation. Both measures would now need two thirds support in the House and Senate to become law without his signature.​ One vetoed bill, the Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act, sought to complete a decades old pipeline to supply clean water to Colorado’s Eastern Plains. Trump told Congress the project was too costly and said he was protecting taxpayers from funding what he called expensive and unreliable policies. The plan, first proposed in the 1960s under John F Kennedy, had unanimous backing in both chambers, including support from Colorado’s Democratic senators and Republicans Lauren Boebert and Jeff Hurd.​ Boebert, once a close Trump ally but now at odds with him over […]

Lawmakers Threaten Action Over Epstein Files Delay

Two members of the US Congress have warned that they may take legal action against Attorney General Pam Bondi after the government failed to fully release files linked to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Department of Justice (DoJ) had been expected to publish all documents connected to its investigations into Epstein by a set deadline. While some records were made public, large portions were redacted and others were withheld, falling short of what lawmakers and campaigners had demanded. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, a prominent advocate for full disclosure, said the limited release could lead to contempt proceedings against Bondi. He accused the justice department of ignoring both the intent and the requirements of the law. The DoJ has rejected these claims, maintaining that it is meeting its legal duties. Bondi has also defended the administration’s […]

US lawmakers meet on rising violence in Nigeria

United States lawmakers have held a bipartisan meeting to discuss the escalating violence in Nigeria and explore possible policy responses to rising insecurity in the country.​ Members of Congress reviewed recent attacks, including killings, kidnappings, and assaults on religious and ethnic communities, expressing concern over the growing humanitarian impact and regional instability.​ The discussions covered how the US could support Nigeria through security cooperation, humanitarian aid, and stronger advocacy for human rights, accountability, and protection of vulnerable groups.​ Some lawmakers pushed for closer scrutiny of how security assistance is used, calling for safeguards to ensure that military and police forces respect human rights and are held responsible for abuses.​ They also highlighted the need to address root causes of violence, such as poverty, weak governance, corruption, and climate-related pressures that fuel conflicts between farmers and herders.​ The meeting ended with […]

U.S. Lawmakers Question Nigeria’s Will, Capacity to Curb Violence

U.S. lawmakers have sharply questioned Nigeria’s ability and willingness to protect Christian communities and other victims of extremist violence amid worsening insecurity. At a heated congressional hearing, legislators pressed for accountability and urgent action, reviewing Nigeria’s status as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Congressman Bill Huizenga accused President Tinubu’s government of “sitting back” as insecurity rose. Lawmakers and State Department officials cited mass killings, targeted attacks by radical groups, and criticized Abuja for not doing enough or downplaying the crisis. Concerns were raised about a halted youth peacebuilding program and calls for rethinking U.S. aid to Nigeria. Recommendations included accountability for leaders, deeper scrutiny, and assistance focused on technical support and long-term reforms. Meanwhile, Nigerian officials defended the country’s record, insisting there is no religious intolerance. Coalition groups urged domestic reforms, investigating religious freedom violations, and called for interventions […]
