Summary
Landon Thomas Jr. advises Epstein to distance himself from Prince Andrew and issue a public statement to move past negative media coverage.

I mean I can see why a statement might helpin some way -- but its Andrew (not clinton and the rest) that is keeping the story alive. Until you areable to come forward and address that the story lives on. I mean in the end he had consensual sexwith M. And Mworked for you. The rest is atmospherics. You have moved on!
