GHISLAINE Maxwell has been quizzed about other Brits' relationships with paedo Jeffrey Epstein.

US government lawyers interviewed her about more than 100 people connected to her ex-boyfriend. As well as Prince Andrew, they include three other Brits linked to Epstein's inner circle.

One is described as a “high-profile public figure” whose friendship with the New York financier raised concern even before his 2019 jail suicide. The other two are known to have spent significant time at Epstein’s various homes.

Maxwell - serving 20 years in a US jail for helping Epstein abuse young girls - discussed the names with the deputy US attorney general Todd Blanche.

They focused on UK associates of Epstein and British socialite Maxwell during the 90s and early 2000s.
