The FBI has expended their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein by using more witnesses who claim to have been victims of his sex trafficking, some of whom could help authorities figure out what Prince Andrew's connection was to the disgraced financier who died by suicide in his New York prison cell in August. But the probe was dropped by the UK's Metropolitan Police in 2015 and this week a former Florida cop who worked as a Palm Beach County sheriff's deputy in Epstein's pedophile case of 2009 alleged the FBI covered up Prince Andrew's involvement. They met in 1999 and the royal flew on the financier's private jet twice - including once in 2001 with Giuffre. It's claimed 35-year-old Giuffre's account isn't the only one the FBI – who have already identified 80 victims - is looking into in regards to Prince Andrew, 59. 'The US investigation is focusing on several potential victims in the hope that they can provide more details about Prince Andrew and his connection to the Epstein case,' sources from the US Department of Justice told The Sunday Times. Former head of royal protection at Scotland Yard, Dai Davies, who oversaw security for Prince Andrew in the late 1990s said that a probe was vital when it comes to the welfare of the general public in the UK. 'My copies of the files will never be released unless something untoward happens to me, because they are my guarantee of safety for me and my family in the US,' Dougan said. Meanwhile is has been reported Prince Andrew has hired a new Special Adviser to spearhead a PR ‘fightback’ following the Epstein scandal. Mr Stein, 28, lost his job earlier this month when Ms Amber Rudd quit as Work and Pensions Secretary in protest at the removal of the whip from 21 Tory MPs after they rebelled against the Government to stop a No Deal Brexit. Earlier this month, Virginia Roberts Giuffre went on American TV to repeat claims that she was coerced by Epstein into having sex with the Duke on three occasions, the first in 2001 when she was 17. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said of the accusations: ‘It is emphatically denied that The Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts.
