URGENT UPDATE: New documents have just exposed former Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick for lying about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, is demanding immediate answers regarding Lutnick’s claims of severing all ties with Epstein after 2005.
Latest data reveals that Lutnick, who previously stated he had “zero interactions” with Epstein post-2005, was actually involved in business arrangements with Epstein as late as 2014. This shocking information surfaced following the Justice Department’s release of approximately 3.5 million Epstein files last week.
In a statement, Garcia emphasized, “We have some serious questions.” Lutnick, a billionaire financier and long-time supporter of former President Donald Trump, had previously told the New York Post that he and his wife visited Epstein’s New York residence in 2005 but cut all connections soon after. Contradicting this assertion, newly uncovered emails indicate that Lutnick arranged visits to Epstein’s private island with his family in 2012.
Additionally, CBS News reported that Lutnick and Epstein conducted business together through a now-defunct advertising technology company named Adfin. Communications between the two included discussions and financial dealings that persisted until at least 2014. The emails also showed that Lutnick and Epstein maintained contact well beyond 2005, planning calls and meetings as recently as 2011.
In a startling revelation from 2017, Epstein expressed intentions to donate $50,000 to a United Jewish Appeal Federation dinner honoring Lutnick. Just a year later, Lutnick directly emailed Epstein about real estate matters, raising further questions about the nature of their relationship.
In response to the unfolding controversy, a spokesperson from the Commerce Department defended Lutnick, asserting that he has “never been accused of wrongdoing.” The spokesperson criticized the media, claiming this is an attempt to distract from the administration’s accomplishments, which include securing trillions in investments and historic trade deals.
As this story develops, the implications of Lutnick’s ties to Epstein raise significant concerns about transparency and accountability among high-ranking officials. The public is left waiting for answers as investigations continue.
Stay tuned for more updates on this breaking story, as the fallout from these revelations could have major repercussions in political and financial circles.
