FBI, DOJ Close Prince Andrew Epstein Inquiry

The FBI and US Department of Justice have formally closed their investigation into Prince Andrew's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, confirming that no charges will be filed against him or any other prominent individuals. The probe found no credible evidence supporting allegations of a 'client list' or blackmail operation, and reaffirmed that Epstein died by suicide in prison. Prince Andrew, who has always denied the accusations and settled a civil case with Virginia Giuffre without admitting wrongdoing, may now resume international travel after years of self-imposed exile. Despite the legal reprieve, his reputation remains damaged, and he continues to face backlash from the public and royal family. Experts note that the case's closure does not guarantee his rehabilitation within the royal family. The development marks a significant turning point but leaves questions about his future role.
