Oversight Democrats Demand Resignation of Trump’s Commerce Secretary After Testimony Over Epstein Ties – Live The recent testimony by Howard Lutnick, commerce secretary and top ranking Trump administration official, has left a trail of contradictions that threaten to undermine his position at the Department of Commerce.
His connection to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier accused of procuring minors for prostitution, is at the center of this controversy.
Lutnick claimed to have severed ties with Epstein after a 2005 tour of the financier's Manhattan home, but Justice Department files released earlier this year revealed that he had two engagements with Epstein in the years following his claimed break.
