  • Leavitt criticized reporters for focusing on Lutnick’s ties to Epstein and emphasized that Trump remains consistent in his denial of any wrongdoing regarding Epstein.
  • During a press briefing, Leavitt noted Lutnick's testimony contradicted previous claims he made about his relationships with Epstein, further complicating his position.
  • Leavitt also suggested that the possibility of granting clemency to Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for testimony is not a priority for President Trump at this time.
