Prince Andrew will refuse to deal further with the US Department of Justice over its request to question him about paedophile Jeffrey Epstein until he is offered an ‘olive branch’.
A war of words broke out last week after the US authorities wrote to the Home Office to ask formally to interview the Duke of York about his relationship with the disgraced American financier.
The Duke said he had already offered his help as a witness and accused US prosecutors of breaking confidentially rules and issuing ‘complete lies’.
But Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney leading the investigation, claimed that Andrew had sought to ‘falsely portray himself as eager and willing to co-operate’.
Last night, in a new furious salvo, a source close to the Duke of York told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Until there’s an olive branch from the Department of Justice [DoJ] and an attempt to establish trust, we can’t deal with them.
‘The DoJ has been painting an entirely inaccurate picture and this third time was enough. Three strikes and you’re out. There have been three provable breaches in the DoJ’s own rules [in talking about cases] while the Duke has played a straight bat out of respect for the rules and the process.
‘There is no way the Duke’s lawyers can recommend an engagement with the DoJ when they’re breaking the rules. They need to do something to start rebuilding trust.’

Translation: I did it.
Olive branch? I would think it more appropriate to greet Randy Andy with a piece of good old American ash in the form of a Louisvile Slugger.
Why is our government going after a foreign born person when America is full of people to harass, starting with the Clintons..If the Prince did talk he would probably be dead in a short time. Seems like it is a scapegoat they want and not a citizen..most everyone has heard the stories for years. No one is surprised.
How about a nice size 18 boot to the ass and a fond farewell, well a farewell at the airport with a twenty-one Bird salute! Sadly we have enough sexual deviants and pedophiles without having to import an inbred royal from England.
