Should Howard Lutnick resign as Secretary of Commerce? Recently released files show he had much deeper and longer ties to him than he claimed. In the UK, PM
Keir Starmer is facing calls to resign from inside and outside his party over his ambassador appointment of Lord Peter Mandelson, who was named in the files.
Do any of Trump's supporters care that Lutnick lied about his relationship with Epstein or are you waiting for Trump to tell you what to think? It's become more obvious why Trump desperately tried to have all of this buried.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) accused Lutnick in a statement Monday of having “lied” about the extent of his connection to Epstein. Lutnick has sought to downplay their relationship, saying in a podcast appearance last year he vowed in 2005 to never again be in the same room as Epstein.
But files recently released by the Justice Department suggest he continued his interactions with Epstein, including planning a visit several years later to Epstein’s Caribbean island.
“Lutnick’s lies about his business dealings with a convicted child sex offender, raise serious concerns about his judgement and ethics,” Schiff said. “Lutnick has no business being our Commerce Secretary, and he should resign immediately.”
Asked about the scrunity, White House spokesperson Kush Desai did not respond directly but said President Donald Trump “has assembled the best and most transformative cabinet in modern history.”
“The entire Trump administration, including Secretary Lutnick and the Department of Commerce, remains focused on delivering for the American people,” he said.
