Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick acknowledged visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s island with his family, prompting renewed scrutiny over his past ties and calls for his resignation.
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has admitted that he and his family once had lunch on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island during a 2012 family vacation. “We had lunch on the island, that is true, for an hour,” Lutnick told the Senate, stressing that his wife, children and nannies were present.
The admission comes amid bipartisan calls for Lutnick’s resignation following new records showing continued contact with Epstein after 2005. Lutnick insisted he “barely had anything to do with that person,” while Senator Chris Van Hollen said the issue was that Lutnick had “misled the country” about cutting off contact.
