Lawyers for Britain's Prince Andrew have hit back at claims the royal was not co-operating with US prosecutors investigating the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The lawyers said the DOJ had only requested Andrew's help on January 2 this year and had stated that he had never been a target of their investigation and they merely wanted his co-operation.
A US law enforcement official, who has direct knowledge of the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity, said such a request had been submitted.
