US lawmakers and the family of Virginia Giuffre are urging Prince Andrew to testify in the US regarding his links to Jeffrey Epstein, while the US Department of Justice has released redacted documents related to the Epstein case, including the names of six men previously blacked out. The developments come as Spotify announced increased paid subscribers and net profit, despite ongoing criticism over artist compensation, and as police in Arizona released a man detained in connection to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna told the BBC that the Royal Family had "not been transparent" regarding Epstein questions. He also revealed the names of six men in the Epstein files whose identities were previously redacted, including American billionaire Leslie Wexner, who appears to have been labeled a coconspirator by the FBI in 2019. Democratic Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez added that King Charles III "should direct his brother" to testify. Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
The release of the Epstein files, containing roughly 3.5 million redacted documents, has sparked further scrutiny. The push for Prince Andrew's testimony comes amid growing pressure from US officials and Giuffre's family.
In other news, police in Arizona released a man detained in connection to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of US news anchor Savannah Guthrie. According to CBS News, the man, identified only as Carlos, told reporters he did not know who Nancy Guthrie was. Guthrie, 84, was abducted from her home near Tucson more than a week ago.
Meanwhile, Spotify announced that paid subscribers jumped by 9 million in the last three months of 2025, reaching 290 million. This helped net profit rise to 1.17 billion, according to the music giant's financial results released on Tuesday. However, the platform continues to face criticism from artists who claim they are not paid enough for having their songs on the platform. Spotify stated it paid almost 11 billion to artists.
