Prince Andrew Spotted In Public For First Time Since Latest Epstein Revelations.

When asked about what they discussed on the call, Maxwell said, “I don’t have any specific knowledge of that call.” According to The Guardian, Giuffre’s attorney pointed out an email in their thread, saying, “He says let me know when we can talk.
