UK's Burnham considering inquiry into Epstein

Burnham, who became prime minister in July, would meet Epstein's victims, Davies-Jones told BBC Newsnight, and a public inquiry could ⁠follow.

"We are ‌looking into ​this. We are seeing what is possible," the ​minister said on Wednesday.

British ‌police are already investigating a number of allegations ​related to the disgraced financier, with possible offences ranging from child sex abuse to ​trafficking ​women through UK ​airports and misconduct in public ‌office.

Davies-Jones said any public inquiry could also examine the alleged actions of the late Egyptian billionaire Mohamed al-Fayed, another public figure who has ​been accused of rape and sexual assault ​by hundreds ⁠of victims.
