As much as Andrew appears to be an entitled flog (and personally, I have no problem believing he's guilty of what he's been accused of) this is easily explained.

Assume for a second he's NOT guilty.

The UK media has bombarded the front pages with claims by Virginia Giuffre. Wouldn't it be logical for Andrew to ask Maxwell questions? I would, if I was being accused of something and -- genuinely -- hadn't done it. Perhaps along the lines of; "was I being set up in the pic?" "Blackmail?"

More relevant question is; "why is no-one talking about the (approx) $30,000 loaned to (Andrew's ex-wife) Fergie by Epstein to bail her out of her financial hole?"
