Trump official contradicts past claim, admits Epstein island trip

Published

on



Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick contradicts his own past account of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while testifying in front of the Senate.

In a 2025 interview, Lutnick said he visited Epstein’s New York apartment once in 2005 and vowed never to see him again — but in the newly released Epstein files and in Lutnick’s testimony today, he acknowledges a visit to Epstein’s private island in 2012.

Lutnick has staunchly denied criminal involvement with Epstein and appearing in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing.

As millions of voters cast their early midterm ballots, President Trump and his Justice Department are already casting doubt on the electoral process.
