https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/63de6500-5127-42d2-8a07-b293efca156f House Democratic Caucus Vice Chair Ted Lieu (CA) on Tuesday called for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign after newly released files showed he met with Jeffrey Epstein long after he said he had cut all ties with the disgraced New York financier.   "Howard Lutnick must resign," the California Democrat said. "The Epstein files' new release shows that not only did Howard Lutnick lie to the American people, he went into business with Jeffrey Epstein. He visited Epstein's island."   The latest tranche of Epstein files released by the Justice Department appear to show Mr. Lutnick visited Mr. Epstein's private island in December 2012, years after Mr. Epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor.   The commerce secretary has denied any wrongdoing, though he acknowledged having lunch on the island with his family and one other family. Mr. Lutnick has said neither he nor anyone else engaged in or witnessed inappropriate behavior.   #epstein #epsteinfiles #howardlutnick #congress #cspan Tue, 05 May 2026 15:43:54 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://motube.smithandtech.com https://motube.smithandtech.com/lazy-static/avatars/933c9118-81c8-4e69-a82c-512c3a13a060.jpg https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/63de6500-5127-42d2-8a07-b293efca156f All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://motube.smithandtech.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
