U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed to have had “limited interactions” with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents indicate they were business partners in a 2012 deal involving an advertising technology company, Adfin. Despite Lutnick’s assertion of cutting ties with Epstein in 2005, correspondence shows continued communication and plans to meet through 2014. Their relationship raises questions, especially given Epstein’s past legal issues and Lutnick’s proximity to him. A spokesperson for Lutnick stated he has never been accused of wrongdoing.
