US EditionMassie calls on Lutnick to resign over alleged Epstein ties
Rep. Thomas Massie demands Lutnick resign after documents reveal business ties with Epstein post-2005, contradicting Lutnick's public statements, amid bipartisan scrutiny.
- On Sunday, Rep. Thomas Massie called for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
- Documents reviewed show Lutnick sought meetings or calls with Epstein after 2005, including a 2012 boat request and a 2015 fundraiser invitation.
- Describing the home visit, Lutnick recalled a 2005 encounter where he described a room with a massage table, candles, and a suggestive remark, saying he 'will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again'.
- A Commerce Department spokesperson told CNN last month that Lutnick had limited interactions with Epstein and has not been accused of wrongdoing, while James Comer did not show intent to subpoena.
- Massie, who co-authored the law that compelled the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, said it's too soon to decide whether Congress should seek testimony from others, and CNN has reached out to the Commerce Department for comment.
