Epstein Files, Trump & Andrew - with Clive Irving | Ep.130 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast

Phil is back from Australia and will be certain to share a few stories and photos.

He’s returned to find Britain’s Labour government beset with scandals old and new - about grooming gangs, the influence of China on espionage cases and on the shadowy funding of Keir Starmer's own election campaign. What’s going on?

But the main story of the week is the continuing saga of Prince Andrew’s connection to the Epstein affair, thrown into new relief by the publication of Virginia Giuffrie’s powerful and shocking book NOBODY’S GIRL. It contains powerful allegations about Prince Andrew and other men - but (to the disappointment of some) is rather generous towards Donald Trump.

All of this is running in parallel with continuing pressure on the Trump administration to publish everything it knows about the activities of Jeffrey Epstein. And the great expert on that story - our friend Clive Irving - joins Phil to reveal what’s going on behind the scenes in Washington - and why it matters.

You can buy the new book in our own bookshop - and all of Clive’s books’s too...
