US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is facing renewed scrutiny after admitting he and his family lunched with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on his private island in 2012. Under mounting pressure, Lutnick confessed the encounter, contradicting his earlier claim that he had cut all ties with Epstein in 2005. Dems say his previous statement was a lie, as he now acknowledges meeting Epstein at least three times over 14 years. The revelation raises fresh questions about why Lutnick downplayed his connection to the disgraced financier for so long.
