The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. Robert Garcia, has requested that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, appear before Congress to answer questions about his ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The committee is investigating Epstein's co-conspirators and enablers, and believes Andrew may possess relevant information due to his long-standing friendship with Epstein. The letter cites Andrew's visits to Epstein's residences, as well as allegations made by Virginia Giuffre, who claims she was 'lent out' to Andrew by Epstein. Andrew has been asked to respond by November 20th, but it is unclear if he will comply. Andrew was recently stripped of his royal titles and evicted from his mansion on the Windsor estate.

Three members of America's 'most inbred family', the Whittakers, were removed from their West Virginia compound by state officials in September, leaving their relatives behind without explanation. The family gained viral fame after a 2020 YouTube documentary exposed their genetic isolation and severe disabilities, drawing tens of millions of views and making them a symbol of both rural poverty and voyeuristic fascination. The Whittakers' relatives blame the viral videos for the state intervention, saying that the attention brought chaos to their secluded lives. The remaining family members, Betty and Larry, are still living in squalid conditions and have had no contact with their loved ones since they were taken away.
