Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., tells Fox News he wants King Charles to meet with Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and others when he comes to Capitol Hill next month to deliver a speech before a joint meeting of Congress.
British authorities arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew and the brother of King Charles, in connection with an inquiry into the Epstein matter.
Khanna says King Charles could shed light on what the royal family knew about Andrew or Epstein.

Khanna tells Fox he wants the King to meet with victims, then with him and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and the House Oversight Committee.
Khanna stressed that he would request Charles to appear. Fox pressed Khanna on whether he would ask that the King be subpoenaed, but Khanna was not ready to go there yet.
One Oversight Committee source tells Fox that this request is “very delicate” and they risk “an international incident” by asking King Charles to meet with the committee.
House Speaker Mike Johnson called the Democrat’s request “comical.”
“He’s the king of England and the head of state, he’s not going to submit to Ro Khanna’s political games and that committee,” Johnson told Fox. “The King of England has nothing to do with Epstein. That is a joke, and it is offensive for him to suggest that.”
