Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Lib Dems Push For Release Of Files On Andrew's Trade Envoy Role
Caption: Lib Dems Push For Release Of Files On Andrew’s Trade Envoy Role. The Liberal Democrats are calling for the release of documents relating to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s appointment as a UK trade envoy in 2001, following his arrest last week. The party will table a motion in Parliament on Tuesday demanding the release of files on his vetting for the role. In a statement, party leader Sir Ed Davey apologised for his previous support of Andrew, saying he now regrets endorsing his position as trade envoy. Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office with police reviewing allegations related to his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including claims that he shared confidential government material. Emails from the latest batch of Epstein-related files show Andrew allegedly forwarded government reports from visits to Vietnam, Singapore, and China in 2010 as well as investment information on Afghanistan’s gold and uranium sectors. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing and has not responded to specific requests for comment from the BBC. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
