Trump Official Denied Epstein Ties While Doing Business With Him
Newly released documents reveal that U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick maintained business ties with Jeffrey Epstein for years after publicly claiming to have severed all contact. Records indicate Lutnick and Epstein were business partners in an advertising tech company called Adfin as recently as 2014, signing onto a deal together in late 2012. This business relationship and further correspondence extended well past Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea, contradicting Lutnick’s stated vow to never be in Epstein’s presence again following a 2005 meeting. The documents also show Epstein agreed to donate $50,000 to a 2017 dinner honoring Lutnick, despite private concerns about the appearance of their association.
