U.S. Commerce Department Secretary Howard Lutnick tried to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein, alleging he "barely had anything to do with" the financier and convicted sex offender amid calls for his resignation over new revelations about their ties.

A batch of newly released files related to Epstein included emails that showed Lutnick apparently visited his private Caribbean island for lunch years after he claimed to have cut off ties.
