What led to the arrest of former Prince Andrew?
We do have earnings from Walmart crossing the Bloomberg. But first, former Prince Andrew, the brother of King Charles, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office after further details of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein emerged. We get more details with Bloomberg's Tiwa Adebayo.
And we've heard from the local Thames Valley Police Service that they have confirmed that they today arrested a man in his 60s. But as per the national guidance here in the UK, the police have not themselves named that arrested man. Of course, all of this comes after further details of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein did emerge. Andrew has, of course, strenuously denied all allegations of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
And as Bloomberg's Tiwa Adebayo in a statement, King Charles said the police have his full support and cooperation and said, quote, the law must take its course. Meanwhile, billionaire Lex Wexner gave a closed-door deposition to House Oversight Committee Democrats about his ties to the disgraced financier. He said he visited Epstein's private island once but did not know about any sex trafficking and couldn't recall many details about their relationship, including his significant financial support for Epstein. Robert Garcia is the committee's top Democrat.
There is no single person that was more involved in providing Jeffrey Epstein with the financial support to commit his crimes than Les Wexner.
And Democrat Robert Garcia spoke to reporters in Ohio where Wexner agreed to testify under an agreement with the committee. Meanwhile, Bill Gates has pulled out of a speech at a high-profile AI summit in India. The Gates Foundation did not mention the Microsoft co-founder's own ties to Epstein when it made the announcement, but it says the decision was made after careful consideration and to ensure the focus remains on the summit's key priorities. Oil is rising after Axios reported the Trump administration is closer to a major war with Iran than most expect. Axios says a U.S. operation would likely be a weeks-long campaign. We get more from Bloomberg Managing Editor Paul Wallace in Dubai.
A lot of questions. Even if the U.S. does strike with or without Israel, you know, how it goes about that, what exactly its intentions are matter a lot. If it's sort of a one-off strike and Trump quickly comes out and says, look, you know, we're not going to do anything more. Let's just end this now. He claims victory and says he's taken out, you know, Iran's ballistic missiles, whatever the case is. And Iran might not retaliate in too aggressive a fashion. However, if the U.S. decides to go for regime change and, you know, effectively say we're not doing a one-off strike, we're going to continue this until there's something like a change of regime in Iran, then in that case, I think, You know, that's the situation where Iran is most likely to be very aggressive.
What details emerged about Prince Andrew's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?
And that's Bloomberg's Paul Wallace taking a look at oil right now. West Texas Intermediate up 1.6 percent at $66.25 a barrel, while Brent is at $71.38. In Arizona, it's now day 19 into the search for Today Show host Savannah Guthrie's mother. Investigators are hunting for new leads days after a glove found near Nancy Guthrie's home failed to make a DNA match. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the Guthrie family has been nothing but cooperative.
We really put them through the wringer. We not just interview them, we take their cars, we take their houses, we take their phones, all this stuff. And we're not taking it, they're giving it to us voluntarily.
