US Commerce Department Secretary Howard Lutnick sought to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein, alleging he ‘barely had anything to do with’ the financier and convicted sex offender amid calls for his resignation over new revelations about their ties.
The Justice Department in January released millions of new files related to Epstein, including emails that showed Lutnick apparently visited Epstein’s private Caribbean island for lunch years after he claimed to have cut off ties. Lutnick now faces calls from both Democrats and Republicans to resign.
