Federal prosecutors and the F.B.I. have sought to interview Prince Andrew about Jeffrey Epstein, but he has provided “zero cooperation,” the United States attorney in Manhattan said on Monday. Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States attorney, revealed Prince Andrew’s lack of cooperation in response to a reporter’s question during a news conference outside Mr. Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion about victims of human and sex trafficking. Prince Andrew, following a disastrous TV interview over his ties to Mr. Epstein, said in a statement late last year that he was willing to help law enforcement agencies in their investigations into the disgraced financier. “Of course, I am willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required,” his statement said.
