Judge sets timeline for Prince Andrew to testify in Epstein-linked sex abuse case

Judge sets timeline for Prince Andrew to testify in Epstein-linked sex abuse case

The judge overseeing Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s civil sexual assault lawsuit against Prince Andrew decided the royal must testify by July 14, 2022.

The Duke of York must answer questions under oath regarding Giuffre’s accusations before next summer, indicating the case may move to trial. The woman alleges the late financier Jeffrey Epstein forced her to have sex with Prince Andrew multiple times when she was 17 over 20 years ago.

Prince Andrew creeps me out.

Minnesota introduced a resolution to award Prince a posthumous Medal of Honor, after which:
1) Susan Collins asked "Prince Andrew?"
2) Lauren Boebert asked, "Prince spaghetti sauce?"
3) Kyrsten Sinema lip-synched When Doves Cry using dove hand puppets
4) Joe Manchin voted no
