As of March 2026, UK police are actively investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files and have indicated a need for unredacted documents from the US Department of Justice (DoJ), which is led by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Key Findings:
- UK Police Investigation & Requests:Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has stated thatUK authorities need "unredacted evidence" from the U.S. files for potential prosecution, with reports suggesting US authorities are playing "hardball" and providing limited traction.
- Bondi’s Handling of Files: Pam Bondi has faced intense scrutiny from US Congress regarding the release of the files, with Democrats walking out of hearings, accusing her of stonewalling, failing to comply with subpoenas, and protecting high-profile individuals.
- Refusal/Delay: While Bondi has argued that all necessary documents have been released and that she is following the law, she has not complied with requests for the full, unredacted files, leading to suspicions of a cover-up. Reports suggest that up to 98% of the data in the DoJ's possession remains unreleased.
- Arrest and Status: Andrew was arrested by UK police on February 19, 2026, on suspicion of misconduct in public office following the release of new emails, and was released under investigation.
While some reports frame this as a direct refusal by Bondi to hand over files to the UK, it is currently characterized as part of a wider, highly contentious, and legally complex battle between US Congress/international investigators and the US Department of Justice over the release of the "unredacted" materials.
