Developments
Pressure mounts on Sarah Ferguson for potential testimony in US congressional hearings regarding her contact with Jeffrey Epstein just 17 days before his release. While lawmakers have called upon both herself and former husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to answer questions, insiders suggest she will avoid appearing due to fears of damaging their family's reputation or showing disloyalty toward him; however, no formal request for testimony has been issued yet.
US Congress members are urging Duchess Meghan (Sarah) Fergunson under oath regarding Jeffrey Epstein due to emails revealing she maintained a close friendship with him after his 2018 conviction and referred to him as her "brother." Although no legal mechanism exists in the US to compel testimony, lawmakers have offered terms for an appearance while Ferguson has lost several titles and charities following this controversy.
Members of Congress are urging former Duchess Sarah Ferguson to provide sworn testimony before the House Oversight Committee regarding her links to Jeffrey Epstein. Although there is no legal mechanism compelling a non-US citizen like Ms. Ferguson to testify under oath, lawmakers and survivors' families have called for cooperation if she possesses relevant information about his prosecution or misconduct in public office by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
