Hi Aaron,

Hope all is well. I can imagine you're very busy at the moment. Do you have a couple of minutes to chat about something? It's not Afghanistan related, but wanted to run something past you.

Thanks,

EUR Press,

Per below, we've received an inquiry from The Sun re Prince Andrew. In consultation with Dal (cc'd above) we plan to respond with the following:

• Attributed to u.S. Government official: "The United States and the United Kingdom have a close, productive, and resilient law enforcement and mutual legal assistance relationship. We remain in close contact on many active cases on a daily basis, and will continue to seek assistance from the UK in criminal matters as we provide similar assistance in return."

EFTA00072580

• Attributed to U.S. Justice Department official: As a matter of policy, the Justice Department does not publicly comment on mutual legal assistance requests to and from our partner countries, including confirming or denying the very existence of such requests.

You all ok with this COA?
