US EditionEmergence of Epstein island photo leads to new calls for Lutnick to testify
Bipartisan House Oversight calls for Commerce Secretary Lutnick to testify after DOJ restored a photo showing him with Epstein on the private island despite his prior denials.
- On Thursday, a photograph said to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was briefly removed from the Department of Justice's public Epstein archive and restored late Thursday evening as file ID EFTA01230639.
- As part of a Transparency Act release, the DOJ posted thousands of Epstein-related files, but a Wayback Machine snapshot from January 31, 2026 preserved an image the DOJ pulled for nudity, Jmail said.
- Senate Appropriations Committee testimony and DOJ emails now show a 2012 island visit and communications as recent as 2018, conflicting with Lutnick's claim he severed ties in 2005.
- Lawmakers said Friday they believe they can subpoena Lutnick for questioning, with Rep. Nancy Mace urging him to take questions from the Oversight committee and Garcia saying he 'should resign today,' increasing pressure for action.
- The timing around Clinton hearings raises the stakes for potential subpoenas as the photograph emerged the day after Hillary Clinton's testimony and before Bill Clinton's scheduled appearance, though its date and identity remain unconfirmed.
