The arrest of Britain’s Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, younger brother of King Charles III, could wind up having major legal ramifications for those closest to Donald Trump, according to legal experts.
How? Well, members of the Trump administration and his close friends could be subject to arrest if they travel to countries that have ongoing legal investigations into the alleged illegal activities of late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Consider this scenario: Someone who traveled in the same circles as Andrew might be on holiday in Great Britain or another country and suddenly find themselves arrested and charged with being a co-conspirator.
Yale Law School professor Scott Shapiro noted, “UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.”
Reuters correspondent Patricia Zengerle agreed with Shapiro, writing, “Curious whether the Epstein billionaires and cronies will stop traveling outside the U.S. out of concern that in other countries they could be arrested.”
Others also joined the online debate.
The next few weeks should be interesting, as the former prince decides whether or not to trade evidence against others — i.e., Donald and Melania Trump — in exchange for leniency. Just imagine a member of the British royal family being responsible for helping the United States rid itself of the cancer that currently inhabits the White House.
