They wrote to the former duke 11 days ago, requesting he respond by this Thursday, November 20.
The letter, which was signed by a total of 16 members of Congress, said it had identified “financial records containing notations such as ‘massage for Andrew’ that raise serious questions”.
In addition, the committee has called for Andrew to declare what he knew about the actions of the convicted sex trafficker.

Mr Subramanyam told The Guardian that Andrew “has been hiding from us, and I think he will continue to try to hide from people doing meaningful investigations of this matter”.
He added: “It seems like every time we find more evidence, Prince Andrew seems to be in the documents.
“And so I think if he is hoping that the story will just go away by ignoring us and being silent, he will be sorely disappointed, as we continue to pursue this over the next year and beyond.”
US President Donald Trump has U-turned on his previous vow to fight the release of the Epstein files, insisting they should now be released.

Democrats and some Republicans have been pushing for a measure that would force the US Justice Department to make more documents from the case public.
All files and communications related to Epstein could be made public, as well as information about the investigation into his suicide in prison in 2019.
Andrew, who was stripped of his Prince and Duke of York titles earlier this month, strenuously denies any wrongdoing.
