Trump administration Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Tuesday admitted he and his family had lunch on the private island of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein years earlier.
“I did have lunch with him, as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation” in 2012, Lutnick said in testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee.
“My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies,” he said. “I had another couple with — they were there as well, with their children.”
“And we had lunch on the island, that is true, for an hour,” he said.
“And we left with all of my children, with my nannies and my wife, all together. We were on family vacation,” he said.
The secretary’s admission came as he faces bipartisan calls to resign following the release of records showing that his business and personal relationship with Epstein was more extensive than previously known.
Lutnick previously said that he cut off contact with Epstein after 2005 — years before Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to a state-level charge of soliciting a minor for prostitution, which required him to register as a sex offender.
So... he brought his family to the island of a known sex offender. He knew he was a sex offender at that time. After he claimed he cut off contact with him.

It's almost like the DOJ investigation of the Trump campaign working with Russians come the 2016 election.
Where the question that should have been asked, "well, who doesn't have interactions with Russians."
Looks like the same question should be asked come Epstein.

Trump administration Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Tuesday admitted he and his family had lunch on the private island of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein years earlier.
From here: US lawmaker urges Lutnick to resign over alleged Epstein links

'Lutnick had said in a podcast last year that he decided in 2005 never to be in the same room again with Epstein, whom he called a "disgusting person."

The New York Times reported that Lutnick said in a brief phone call last week that he had spent "zero time" with Epstein.'

So...he's a liar. He should resign.

At least he admits to taking his children to child rape island. Can't fault a guy for being honest. Stop virtue signalling and pretending you wouldn't have done the same in his situation.

I think it's good parenting. Taking your kids to child rape island and let them see firsthand what awaits them if they misbehave at home or school.
