Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is facing intense scrutiny and bipartisan calls for his resignation following revelations about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Lutnick has acknowledged visiting Epstein’s private island during a family vacation, a fact that contradicts his previous claims of severing ties with Epstein. As more details emerge linking Lutnick to Epstein, including business dealings and past meetings, both Democrats and Republican lawmakers have expressed outrage, demanding accountability from the Trump administration. The White House appears to be downplaying the issue, though Lutnick insists he had no relationship with Epstein, claiming their only interaction was a lunch. The fallout from the Epstein files continues to pressure Lutnick, contributing to concerns about the integrity of the Trump administration.
