Bill Barr Confirms That Prince Andrew Was A Target For The SDNY's Epstein Investigation (7/21/26)

During his deposition, former Attorney General Bill Barr confirmed that Prince Andrew was always someone the Southern District of New York wanted to question in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein case. Barr explained that Andrew was regarded as a witness the DOJ hoped to interview, given the allegations raised by Virginia Giuffre and the supporting evidence investigators had compiled, such as travel and hotel records. He noted there was an ongoing “dispute” regarding Andrew’s cooperation, highlighting how prosecutors publicly stated he wasn’t cooperating, while Andrew’s camp insisted otherwise.

Barr also clarified that, despite the SDNY’s interest, he did not recall ever being informed that Andrew had been officially elevated to the level of a “subject” or “target” of the investigation. In Barr’s account, Andrew remained in that gray zone of being a “person of interest” — someone the DOJ wanted information from, but not someone the department was actively moving to prosecute or extradite. This distinction reinforced how Andrew’s royal status and wealth seemed to keep him shielded from the more aggressive legal pursuit others in Epstein’s orbit faced.
