Planes, police and airbases: New allegations of how Andrew may have used taxpayer money to meet Epstein

(CNN) London--In the days after the extraordinary arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the former prince has faced a slew of allegations about his time as a trade envoy for Britain and his friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Mountbatten-Windsor faces questions about how he may have traveled to visit Epstein, and whether he may have used his police protection as security while he spent time with him.

The former prince has not commented on the latest allegations. He has previously denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein and said that he never witnessed or suspected any of the behavior of which the sex offender was accused. CNN has asked Mountbatten-Windsor for fresh comment.

Over the weekend, Gordon Brown, Britain’s prime minister from 2007 to 2010, demanded a police investigation into whether Mountbatten-Windsor used taxpayer-funded jets and Royal Air Force (RAF) bases to meet Epstein – according to The Telegraph.

And why on earth was he named "Trade Representative"? Of course it was awarded on who he is rather than on what skills he has. How utterly disgusting. This craven, self-important, piece of shit deserves to go to prison.
