Trump s commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, had lunch with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on his island, he said on Tuesday, as he faces mounting calls to resign from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
“I did have lunch with him, as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation” in 2012, Lutnick said in testimony on Tuesday before the Senate appropriations committee afer denying his links.
9 11 insider Howard Lutnik has a pivotal role in the Trump administration, and was largely responsible for staffing Trump s admin with what looks increasingly like thousands of incompetent, depraved members of Epstein s circles, including Stephen Miller, who have managed to do so much damage to the USA in one year , that Amricans will be lucky to be living like people in Zimbabwe soon.

Massie, a Republican, wrote on social media that Lutnick’s contradictory statements raise questions that need to be resolved.
“Lutnick went to the island and was in business deals with Epstein, long after Lutnick says he parted ways and even after Epstein was convicted of sex crimes,” Massie said. “What else is
Lutnick covering up with respect to his association with Epstein?”

Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, two lawmakers who spearheaded the Epstein Files Transparency Act, have both called on Lutnick to resign.
“This is bringing down the British government. It may bring down the monarchy. It’s bringing down elites,” Khanna, a Democrat, said on Monday. “What are we doing here in the US to stand
up to the Epstein class? We’ve got a commerce secretary who is all over the files.”
The Democratic congressman Ro Khanna said on Tuesday that he and his Republican colleague Thomas Massie had forced the justice department to disclose the “hidden” names of six
wealthy men they say are “likely incriminated” by their inclusion in the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files.
In a post on X at lunchtime, Khanna, of California, named the six as Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem and Leslie Wexner.
Wexner is the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret. His extensive ties to Epstein – the late convicted sex offender and disgraced financier – were exposed in a lengthy New York Times
investigation in November.
