Ex-Prince Andrew's arrest force US to investigate Epstein connections: commentator

Political commentator Christopher Bucktin argued that ex-Prince Andrew's arrest on misconduct charges Thursday could have significant implications in the United States. Bucktin describes the arrest as "almost surreal," signaling that status alone no longer protects powerful individuals from criminal investigation. He references Attorney General Pam Bondi's warning that investigating everyone mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's files could "bring down the government," suggesting Andrew's arrest represents a shift in accountability. Bucktin contends that the UK's willingness to pursue credible allegations against powerful figures puts pressure on the US to act similarly. He argues that the Epstein case extends beyond one individual to an entire ecosystem of influence involving wealth, power, and institutional protection. Bucktin asserts that justice cannot exempt elite figures for political sensitivity reasons, and Andrew's arrest could signal that no title provides immunity from the law.
