Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Following roughly 11 hours in custody, he was released the same day, though authorities stressed the investigation remains active.

Trump Comments From Air Force One

Shortly after news of the arrest circulated, former U.S. President Donald Trump addressed reporters aboard Air Force One, commenting on Andrew and the potential implications for the British monarchy.

“I think it’s a shame. Very sad. It’s so unfortunate for the royal family. Truly, very, very sad,” he said.

Trump also referenced Andrew’s brother, King Charles III, who is expected to visit the U.S. soon.

“His brother, coming to our country shortly, [he’s] a fantastic man — King,” Trump added.

When asked if Americans connected to Epstein could face legal action, he noted his prior involvement:

“It’s really interesting because nobody spoke about Epstein while he was alive, and now they do. But I can comment because I’ve been fully exonerated.”
