Congress eyes Prince Andrew’s Epstein testimony; Virginia Democrats join redistricting fight

In this Media Miss Minute, two stories flying under the radar on partisan outlets: Congress could call Britain’s Prince Andrew to testify about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Also, Democrats in Virginia are redrawing congressional maps in hopes of reclaiming control of the U.S. House.

Media Miss by the left: US Congress may call  UK Prince Andrew to testify on Epstein ties 

Prince Andrew could soon be called to appear before Congress to answer questions about his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Massachusetts Rep. Stephen Lynch, a Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, told BBC’s “Newsnight” this week that American legislators are “extremely interested” in hearing from the disgraced royal. 

While Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied allegations from Epstein survivors that he was also an offender, the renewed scrutiny follows his recent decision to formally relinquish his royal titles.

Media Miss by the right: Virginia Democrats move to redraw congressional maps ahead of midterms 

Democrats in Virginia are looking to redraw the state’s congressional maps in a bid to pick up at least two additional House seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Right now, Democrats hold six of Virginia’s eleven  congressional districts.

The effort comes as part of a broader nationwide redistricting battle. In recent weeks, Republicans in neighboring North Carolina approved a new map expected to shift a seat from Democrats to the GOP – one of several new maps across red and blue states that reshape control of Congress.

Republicans in Virginia are drafting  their own competing  maps as both parties race to secure every advantage  before the midterms.
