Epstein probe leader Comer says 'no one is above the law' after ex-Prince Andrew arrest

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., reiterated the need for accountability and lauded the Trump administration's commitment to releasing its own information on Epstein.

"There must be accountability for anyone who was involved in Jeffrey Epstein's horrific crimes," Comer told Fox News Digital. "The Justice Department's transparency is ensuring that no one is above the law - even British royalty."

While he has denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, Andrew was one of the late pedophile's most well-known associates through the years.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's earliest and most vocal accusers, alleged in a memoir that Andrew had sex with her when she was a minor.

Giuffre died of suicide in April of last year. Epstein died of suicide in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial in 2019.

"Courage has consequences. So does corruption," said Mace, also a House Oversight Committee member.

Meanwhile, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee sounded off with renewed calls for accountability for other alleged Epstein associates.

Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., said Andrew "appears repeatedly in the documents we have uncovered as having knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and is specifically named by victims as someone who engaged in wrongdoing."

"We hope today's arrest will lead to answers and show that there will be accountability even if you hide, regardless of how rich and powerful you are," he said in a statement.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., wrote on X, "This is exactly the kind of accountability we need from the Department of Justice. It's time to bring the perpetrators to justice."
