It's Friday, February 20th.

So, Michael, we are here to talk to you today because it feels like arguably one of the biggest shoes to drop has happened in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

And specifically, we're talking about Andrew Mountbatten, formerly known as Prince Andrew of the British royal family.

He was arrested.

Tell us what happened and what he was arrested for.

And what does that mean?

All of this feels kind of astonishing when you consider a couple of things.

One, how long there have been accusations of sexual misconduct against former Prince Andrew.

And number two, how long we've known that he's associated with Jeffrey Epstein.

Like the fact that he is being arrested for potentially leaking confidential information, that kind of feels almost like going after Al Capone for tax evasion.

I remember that interview because, if I remember correctly, it had the exact opposite effect of what he was trying to do.

Obviously, nobody wants to get kicked out of their home, but this is not exactly like he's being banished to Siberia.

And then, of course, in January, the United States releases this enormous trove of files, three million files.

Journalists all over the world have not even finished picking through these files.

But what emerges very quickly are more damning details about Prince Andrew.

So walk us through what we have seen come out of those files so far.

But do the police need the king to open the door for them to launch any kind of investigation?

I don't understand, though, if police don't need a green light from the royal family to conduct a criminal investigation, has there even been one before this, given the fact that there have been criminal allegations against Andrew for years?

And if there hasn't been one, do we know why there hasn't been one?

And we should note that the arrest of a former prince, if not a current prince, is still a monumentally huge deal to the British public.
