Overview
- Rep. Ro Khanna asked King Charles to meet Jeffrey Epstein survivors during next month’s U.S. trip and to explain what the royal family knew about Prince Andrew’s ties to Epstein.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed the idea as “comical” and said the King would not appear before Khanna’s committee.
- Several survivors told The Times they would meet the King, though the report described the chance of such a meeting as remote.
- Charles is expected for his first state visit to the U.S., with invitations to a state dinner hosted by President Trump and to address a joint meeting of Congress.
- Accountability remains a flashpoint as the House inquiry cites interviews with figures such as Bill and Hillary Clinton and Andrew’s ignored subpoena, while victims note only Ghislaine Maxwell has faced accomplice charges.
