Prince Andrew Reportedly Was “Persuaded” Against Cooperating With FBI. The New York Post (3/11, Brown, 4.57M) reports, “Prince Andrew has hired a crisis management specialist dubbed ‘the backroom fixer’ - after snubbing the FBI on the advice of Jeffrey Epstein's accused madam Ghislaine Maxwell, according to reports." The prince “was on Monday once again shamed by US authorities who say he ‘completely shut the door on voluntary cooperation’ with the investigation into his late pedophile pal’s crimes,” and “now a family friend of Maxwell's claims Andrew was ‘persuaded’ to do so at her urging. ‘Ghislaine told me that yes, the lawyers and Ghislaine have finally convinced Andrew that it would do no good for him to talk to the FBI,’ Maxwell friend ee told The Sun. ‘He wanted to talk to them because he has nothing to hide,’ Goldman said of the ‘honorable’ 60-year-old royal. ‘But it was Ghislaine who persuaded him that it didn't matter. The FBI will never be satisfied.” EFTA00161145
