It has been revealed that Lutnick lied about his previous associations with Epstein.

I know this is unpopular opinion but Lutnick needs to resign. He's going to be a MAJOR pain in the arse for Trump going forward.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Tuesday was grilled on Capitol Hill about his past association with Jeffrey Epstein, following revelations that the two men remained in contact years after Lutnick suggested he had distanced himself from the convicted sex offender.

Lutnick strongly denied any wrongdoing, but one Democrat said he had "totally misrepresented" the extent of their relationship "to the Congress, to the American people and to the survivors of his despicable criminal and predatory acts."

Appearing before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee, Lutnick was asked repeatedly about his correspondence with Epstein detailed in files recently released by the Justice Department, and President Donald Trump's commerce secretary revealed he visited Epstein's Caribbean island in 2012 with his family and others.

If Lutnick doesn't quietly resign he's going to get more and more media attention and not in a good way.

You can't first say you had little association with Epstein, then after the files are released which reveal you were a regular Epstein associate even after Epstein was convicted.

"I did have lunch with him, as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies," Lutnick testified under questioning by Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.

"We had lunch on the island, that is true, for an hour, and we left with all of my children, with my nannies and my wife all together," he said.

Dude, WTF are you doing? Having a social lunch outing with a world renowned sex offender with your family no-less, not a good look.

A spokesperson for the Department of Commerce told ABC News on Monday, "Mr. and Mrs. Lutnick met Jeffrey Epstein in 2005 and had very limited interactions with him over the next 14 years."

However, the documents released over a week ago showed one email from Epstein's schedule for May 1, 2011, showing plans for drinks with Lutnick.

Legal documents also showed both Lutnick and Epstein invested in the same business in 2012.

Lutnick is a political liability for the Trump administration at this point. If Lutnick doesn't resign this crap is going to hang over the Trump Administration for the rest of his term.
