US EditionLutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show
DOJ documents show Lutnick maintained business and social ties with Epstein through 2018, including investments and visits to Epstein's private island, contradicting his claims.
- Last Friday, the DOJ released about 3 million pages of Epstein documents, with Lutnick appearing in more than 250 files, showing joint investments in AdFin Solutions Inc. via Southern Trust Co. and CVAFH I LLC.
- Congress forced the release by passing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which set a December deadline, prompting reporters and investigations teams at The New York Times to build tools for sifting the trove.
- Epstein's calendar for May 1, 2011 shows a 5 p.m. drink appointment with Lutnick and a December 23, 2012 Little St James visit planned by Lutnick's family, with a phone identified as Lutnick's left at Epstein's home.
- Republican Rep. Thomas Massie called for Howard Lutnick's resignation, saying files show he `was in business` with Epstein after his conviction, while the Commerce Department said Lutnick had `limited interactions` and no wrongdoing is alleged.
- The records portray neighbourly ties communicated largely through assistants, with reporters warning of redaction errors and victim-identification risks amid the file release.
