Accordingly, Andrew was accused of sexual abuse by one of Epstein’s many survivors, Virginia Giuffre.
Andrew has, however, always maintained his innocence.
Berman alleged that British authorities were uncooperative when he attempted to track down the prince’s legal team.
“We tried calling Buckingham Palace, and they were not helpful,” he claimed.
“We tried the Department of Justice attache and state department, no luck.
