In a Senate hearing, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admitted to having lunch with Jeffrey Epstein on the latter’s private island in 2012, a revelation that contradicts his previous statements about cutting off contact with the sex offender in 2005. This admission, coupled with newly released Epstein files indicating business dealings as late as 2014, has fueled bipartisan calls for his resignation. Lutnick maintained that the 2012 lunch was part of a family vacation and that his interactions with Epstein were minimal, with only a few emails connecting them over a 14-year period. He asserted he saw no inappropriate activity during his brief visit and has nothing to hide, though he has been accused of misleading Congress.

Recent research indicates Fox News has published a significantly higher volume of articles referencing transgender people than any other news outlet, including LGBTQ+ specific publications. This trend, observed since 2023, saw Fox News produce nearly 1,000 articles containing the term “transgender” in 2025 alone. The researcher highlighted that this extensive coverage, which also includes terms like “gender ideology” and “gender confusion,” constitutes over half of all anti-trans coverage from six major US conservative outlets. Such a relentless focus is seen as strategically undermining progress for transgender rights by emphasizing sex and gender.

The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee has expressed deep concern after reviewing unredacted versions of the Epstein files. He believes the Justice Department has potentially violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act by making unnecessary redactions and failing to disclose the names of alleged accomplices, including individuals whose redacted statements seem to contradict public claims made by powerful figures. This review has led to accusations that the Department of Justice, particularly under previous administrations, may have engaged in a cover-up, obscuring the full scope of Epstein’s alleged international child sex trafficking ring.

Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie has identified Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman and CEO of global logistics firm DP World, as the recipient of an email from Jeffrey Epstein referencing a “torture video.” Released as part of the Epstein files, the email exchange from April 2009 shows Epstein asking about the recipient’s well-being and mentioning the video, with the recipient replying they were in China and would be in the U.S. in May. Sulayem, described as a friend of Epstein’s, continued correspondence with the financier even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, although appearing in the files does not signify criminal wrongdoing. The identification comes as lawmakers, including Massie and Maryland Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin, have scrutinized the Department of Justice’s redactions in the Epstein files, asserting that some redactions are unnecessary and that more documents remain withheld.
