Former Prince Andrew Launches Judicial Review to Quash Epstein-Linked Search Warrants

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has initiated a judicial review against Thames Valley Police to challenge the legality of search warrants executed at his Sandringham and Royal Lodge residences in February. The former prince seeks to quash the warrants issued by the Central Criminal Court prior to his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a move described as his first public legal pushback since losing his titles. While a private hearing is scheduled for Thursday, legal experts note that even if the warrants are invalidated, police may still retain seized materials if they can demonstrate grounds for immediate re-seizure. King Charles has explicitly barred the use of private royal funds to support this legal challenge, and the police maintain their broader investigation into alleged misconduct remains ongoing despite the lack of formal charges.

Epstein Victim's Family Targets Colorado Rep. Crank in Midterm Ad

A new attack ad in Colorado's competitive House race features the brother and sister-in-law of Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Jeffrey Epstein victim who died by suicide in 2025. The ad, supporting Democrat Jessica Killin against Republican Rep. Jeff Crank, accuses the congressman of refusing to meet with the family and of initially voting to block the release of federal Epstein files. While Crank later supported the transparency measure, the Roberts family argues he failed to engage with constituents. The incident highlights the growing use of Epstein-related issues in midterm campaigns, though Crank's campaign dismisses the ad as vague and misleading.

House panel moves to hold Leon Black in contempt over Epstein probe

The House Oversight Committee voted 41-0 to recommend that the full House hold Leon Black in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas in its Jeffrey Epstein probe.

The next step is a House vote on the contempt resolution, expected this week. Black has said he did nothing wrong and regrets his involvement with Epstein, who died in 2019; he previously paid Epstein up to $158 million for tax and estate planning advice (2012–2017).
