Bombshell video footage taken by Jeffrey Epstein which could show Prince Andrew with Virginia Giuffre is expected to be released in the United States.
The FBI has been reviewing ‘tens of thousands of videos’ of paedophile Epstein, according to US Attorney-General Pam Bondi.
Meanwhile, legal papers filed by Ms Giuffre prior to her suicide last month outline her belief that US authorities hold footage of her having sex with powerful Epstein associates.
The disgraced financier, who died by suicide while awaiting trial for sex trafficking in 2019, is understood to have had hidden cameras around all his homes.
Federal investigators seized a number of them following his death and the material contained on them is understood to form part of the ‘Epstein Files’.
US President Donald Trump has vowed to make these public, with the White House stating earlier this month that the release of the ‘bulk’ of the files is being worked on.
A source told The Sun: ‘Andrew will be sweating over their release. If there’s anything in there that involves him, it would pile more misery and humiliation on him.’
Unpublished tapes from an interview Ms Giuffre gave regarding Prince Andrew are also said to have emerged.
In them, Ms Giuffre reveals a ‘specific personal detail’ about him that is said to be ‘highly embarrassing’, according to journalist Barry Levine, who has written a book on Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Ms Giuffre, who took her own life at her home in on April 25, claimed she was 17 when she was trafficked to Prince Andrew for sex on three occasions.

He has strongly denied the allegations, and Ms Giuffre received an out-of-court settlement in February 2022.
The payout figure, which has never been disclosed, may become clear as her estate is bequeathed to her estranged husband and three children.
It was reported at the time that he paid her around $12million, a figure which has been disputed.
Giuffre was one of the most prominent accusers of Epstein and his former girlfriend Maxwell, claiming the pair kept her as a sex slave as a teen.
The 41-year-old took her own life on April 25 at her farmhouse north of Perth, after the ‘toll of abuse… became unbearable’, according to her family.
She had been a leading voice for victims in the Epstein case and became known for her tireless advocacy on behalf of herself and other alleged victims of the millionaire’s sex crimes.
Born in California in 1983, her life was shattered as a grade-schooler when she was sexually abused by a man her family knew.
She spent time as a runaway, was shuffled through foster homes and lived on the streets at just 14. She was first trafficked by Miami sex trafficker Ron Eppinger.
Eventually, Giuffre got free of Eppinger reunited with her father Sky, according to The Miami Herald.
At 16, her father was working in maintenance at Mar-a-Lago resort, the private club owned by Donald Trump, and got her a job as a locker room attendant.
It was there she said she met Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of Robert Maxwell, a former MP and publisher of several British newspapers.
Ms Giuffre said that Maxwell offered her the opportunity to work as a massage therapist for Epstein.

‘They seemed like nice people so I trusted them, and I told them I’d had a really hard time in my life up until then – I’d been a runaway, I’d been sexually abused, physically abused,’ she told the BBC.
‘That was the worst thing I could have told them because now they knew how vulnerable I was.’
Epstein and Maxwell groomed her to sexually service both of them as well as other clients, she said in an interview and a sworn court affidavit.
She claimed in 2011 that she was sex trafficked to Prince Andrew on three occasions by Epstein and Maxwell, the first time being when she was 17.
‘It started with one and it trickled into two and so on and before you know it, I’m being lent out to politicians and academics and royalty,’ she said.
The Duke of York has consistently and vehemently denied her claims, as has convicted sex offender Maxwell, who Giuffre claims acted on Epstein’s behalf. Epstein died in a New York prison in 2019.
President Trump promised during his campaign to release the Esptein Files, vowing that his White House was committed to ‘transparency’ as he president signed an executive order in January to declassify various documents.
But in February, the ‘first phase’ of the release shared little new information about the case.
The White House said earlier this month that there is ‘no specific timeline’ to release the rest of the files.
