Summary
This document is a chain of emails between the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and Blackfords LLP, legal counsel for Prince Andrew, in January 2020. The DOJ formally requests a voluntary interview with Prince Andrew regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. While Prince Andrew's lawyers claim he desires to cooperate, they delay the interview to handle 'preliminary issues,' leading to public tension when US Attorney Geoffrey Berman tells the press there has been 'zero co-operation,' provoking an angry rebuttal from Blackfords.
