Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s most likely move amid US Congress’ demands

Following questions about the US Congress’ demands for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s testimony against Jeffrey Epstein, an expert has stepped forward with his take on the most likely outcome.

For those unversed, this call is second, following the initial request made for Andrew to testify against the convicted sex offender.

Robert Garcia and Congressman Suhas Subramanyam is the ranking member that spoke out this time and according to The Mirror he claims, “Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's silence in the face of the Oversight Democrat's demand for testimony speaks volumes.”

Because “the documents we've reviewed, along with public records and Virginia Roberts Giuffre's testimony, raise serious questions he must answer, yet he continues to hide.”

However, he did make one thing clear and it is that “our work will move forward with or without him, and we will hold anyone who was involved in these crimes accountable, no matter their wealth, status, or political party. We will get justice for the survivors.”

According to a political expert that is well versed in the US landscape however, there is a high chance this refusal will continue, even if the requests turn into demands.

The expert, Professor John E. Owens, from the University of Westminster explains, “let us not forget that it is principally the Democrats on the House Overnight Committee who are calling for Mountbatten Windsor to testify, although a few Republicans have joined them.”

“So, if there is sufficient political will on the committee, a bipartisan majority could issue a subpoena, going beyond the simple letter they have sent already. And they might agree to Mountbatten Windsor testifying by Zoom.”

Also, “Mountbatten Windsor would probably refuse whatever request is made, which would then leave open the possibility of the Congress ruling him in contempt of Congress, although the US constitution does not explicitly grant the Congress this power.”

“Given the political stakes at issue here, and House Republicans' fealty to Trump, who may be damaged further politically by Mountbatten Windsor's testimony, it seems unlikely that the whole House would issue a contempt order.”

However, “if they did, it would be down to Trump's politically subservient Department of Justice to prosecute Mountbatten Windsor. [Which is] not going to happen.”
