00:00Andrew has always maintained his innocence and doesn't legally have to agree to do this interview.
00:07But if he doesn't, survivors no doubt will be asking what he has to hide, Afia.
00:13Absolutely. Look, if Andrew is innocent and like you so rightly said, he has always vehemently denied the allegations against him.
00:22If that is the case and he has nothing to hide, then appearing before the U.S. Congress should technically not be a problem for him.
00:32If he is innocent, as he says, then he should be able to sit in front of U.S. Congress with a clean conscience and talk about what he knows.
00:41If he ignores this request, because it is a request, it's not an order, it's not a subpoena, he isn't legally bound to appear before Congress right now.
00:51If he ignores the request, then it looks like he has something to hide.
00:56And if he sits before Congress and, you know, can hold his head high and continue to talk about this and deny everything that's against him and with a clear conscience,
01:05then this could go some way, some way towards repairing his reputation.
01:11Do we expect him to respond to this?
01:14We really don't know. The letter gives him up to the 20th of November to be able to respond to the letter.
01:21We don't know what that response will be.
01:23But you're right in saying, look, if he is innocent, as he says, then sitting in front of Congress should not be a problem for him.
01:29We'll see you next time.
