“What? I know nothing about any of this,” Andrew wrote, reacting to claims that Giuffre had been instructed to have sex with him at Maxwell’s London home, Epstein’s New York townhouse, and his private island, Little St. James.

“How are you responding?” he pressed.

“Just got it two minutes ago,” Epstein replied, calling the story “so sensational and absurd” he didn’t know how to respond. “The only person she didn’t claim to have slept with was Elvis,” he added sarcastically.

Andrew then pleaded:
“Please make sure every statement and every legal letter clearly says that I am NOT involved and that I knew — and still know — NOTHING about these allegations. I can’t take any more of this.”

The 2001 photo shows a smiling Andrew with his arm around Giuffre’s waist, with Maxwell grinning beside them. Andrew has long claimed the image may have been altered, saying: “No one can prove whether the photograph has been doctored.”

He later argued the picture couldn’t be genuine because he “didn’t hug people.”
