The 39-year-old is prepared to talk to them about her allegations the royal groped her in the late billionaire’s New York home when she was 21.
Johanna picture for the first time in more than 10 years since she blew the lid on the scandal, is one of only two women claiming to have had sexual contact with Andrew, 59.
A source said: “As a victim of Epstein, Sjoberg’s testimony over how she was recruited and abused is vital to the FBI.
Despite Epstein’s suicide, they are determined all those who enabled his crimes will face justice. It is a promise they made to the victims.
“Andrew has had serious allegations made against him and agents are determined that a person’s standing in life does not make them immune from being questioned.”
Johanna had claimed Andrew groped her breast while he sat her on his knee at Epstein’s home.
Her allegations in 2007 are understood to have given Virginia Giuffre, born Roberts, the courage to make her claims that Andrew had sex with her when she was 17.
The FBI is thought to be looking at ways to interview the prince in the UK.
Agents want to question him about what he knew about Epstein, his alleged recruiter Ghislaine Maxwell and anyone else connected with the billionaire.
Andrew’s lawyers are preparing for an approach by the FBI after he said he was “willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations if required”.
Andrew has been stripped of his £249,000 Sovereign Grant “salary” and all duties after his disastrous BBC interview about the allegations made by Virginia, 35.
He will also step down temporarily from his 230 figurehead roles.
A royal source said the prince believes speaking to the FBI will clear him of wrongdoing.
Friends of Johanna say she is “pleased” Andrew is finally addressing the allegations against him.
A source said: “She has testified that Andrew engaged in a ‘sexual act’ upon her in Epstein’s home and believes it is right the FBI questions him about what he knows.
“We are appalled the Duke has for so long been allowed to continue as though nothing ever happened, but he knows what he did to Jo.
"Why has it taken so long to get the day of reckoning he deserves?”
When the Mirror approached Johanna to ask about Andrew she refused to comment further on whether she had already spoken to the FBI or talk about his behaviour, saying her lawyer is handling her case.
