00:00And what I think is quite interesting is we must say that Donald Trump has always maintained
00:04that he was innocent when it came to anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:08And I do think the last emails we have seen released, there's no smoking gun in there.
00:14There's nothing that actually puts Donald Trump in direct contention when it comes to this.
00:22And it's very difficult to see that he has done anything wrong.
00:26But as we know, the Epstein files are just not going away.
00:31And you mentioned the former prince, you know, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
00:35We know of him like that now.
00:37He's been included in the new email exchanges released this week.
00:42Gemma, what more do we know about the latest when it comes to Andrew?
00:46Yes, so Andrew back in the news, as you said, it's not going away.
00:50And I know, well, I think we can assume that this is what Buckingham Palace were hoping,
00:55you know, with him being sent to live elsewhere and, you know, moved out of Forest Lodge.
01:02I think they were hoping that it would it would all blow over.
01:04But no, it's come back.
01:06So what we've seen is more emails, especially from Epstein.
01:12So now it turns out that Epstein is the person alleged to have taken that famous photo of Andrew and Virginia Dufresne.
01:19So he also said in one of the emails, she was on my plane and, yes, she had her picture taken with Andrew.
01:27So this seems to be Epstein contradicting what Andrew previously said in his very famous 2019 Newsnight interview,
01:35in which he suggested that the image could have been doctored.
01:40He also suggested he didn't even remember it being taken.
01:43And here we have Epstein saying he had the photo taken.
01:46So there's a lot of things in these emails which contradict what Andrew has previously said.
01:53Now, it also claims the document suggests that Andrew and Epstein were, you know,
02:00still speaking to each other four months after Andrew had said they no longer had any contact.
02:05Again, there's the contradiction here.
02:08Now, this also comes at a time when the House Oversight Committee, the Democrats,
02:14have suggested that Andrew doesn't have to fly over there to give testimony,
02:19that he could very happily, you know, do it over Zoom and do it remotely.
02:23So this is not going away for Andrew whatsoever.
02:26And I do wonder if we are heading towards a time when he will be called upon to give evidence.
