Lutnick Planned Epstein Island Lunch Despite Denials, New Files Reveal

  • New documents reveal US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick planned a 2012 lunch on Jeffrey Epstein's private island, Little Saint James.
  • This contradicts Lutnick's previous claims of cutting ties with Epstein around 2005 after an uncomfortable encounter.
  • Emails show Lutnick's wife inquired about anchoring near the island, and Epstein's assistant sent a follow-up message after the planned meeting.
  • Elon Musk also exchanged emails with Epstein, declining an island visit but inquiring about parties.
  • The release is the final scheduled disclosure of Epstein-related records by the US Justice Department, including millions of pages and media.

Why It Matters: New files contradict Lutnick's claims, showing he planned a lunch on Epstein's island years after denying contact.
