Following the release of further Epstein files, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan calls for resignation. House Democrats have demanded his departure, alleging he publicly misrepresented his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and misled investigators during a closed-door interview.

The Commerce Department maintains that Lutnick has been transparent and that calls for his resignation are politically motivated.

In a hearing held by Democrats from the US House Oversight Committee, near President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, focus was placed on the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files. This hearing, though without legal authority, aimed to maintain public attention on the case, where lawmakers learned how Epstein and his accomplices evaded accountability for years, leaving victims failed by the justice system.
