A Trump cabinet member is in hot water on both side of the aisle after it was revealed that he may have lied about his ties to child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein.
It was reported on Saturday that U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was exposed in the most recent Epstein files release as being in business with Epstein until 2014, contradicting previous claims that he had cut ties with him much earlier.
That led one GOP lawmaker, Kentucky’s Thomas Massie, to speak out on Saturday.
“According to legal documents and emails, Epstein and Lutnick did business together and Lutnick vacationed on Epstein’s island, LONG AFTER Lutnick claims they parted ways and after LONG AFTER Epstein was a known sex offender,” Massie wrote.
A Democratic congressman then seized on that, sharing Massie’s comment and adding, “Secretary Lutnick must resign.”
Ted Lieu then added, “He’s despicable for vacationing on Epstein Island with child rapist Jeffrey Epstein. He’s despicable for going on national TV and lying about his relationship with Epstein.”
“What else is Lutnick hiding?” Lieu asked.
