From MSNBC.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick contradicts his own past account of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while testifying in front of the Senate.

In a 2025 interview, Lutnick said he visited Epstein’s New York apartment once in 2005 and vowed never to see him again — but in the newly released Epstein files and in Lutnick’s testimony today, he acknowledges a visit to Epstein’s private island in 2012.

Lutnick has staunchly denied criminal involvement with Epstein and appearing in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing.
