US lawmakers have urged their government to follow the UK's suit and push harder on those who were close to Jeffrey Epstein, following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
"Prince Andrew was just arrested," Congressman Thomas Massie, who co-sponsored the law that compelled the justice department to release the Epstein files, wrote on X. "Now we need JUSTICE in the United States."
The King's brother, who was stripped of his titles last year due to his ties with Epstein, has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
Lawmakers have asked the former prince to come to the US to testify about his ties to the late sex offender.
Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, who leads the House Oversight Committee, told the BBC that if the former prince did "nothing wrong, then he should clear his name".
