Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed he cut contact with Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. He lied.
Maintaining contact with someone involved in such horrific abuses—and lying about it—is a moral failure, and another reason Lutnick is unfit to serve.
He should resign.

All of these things are what she personally oversaw, & that’s before even digging into whatever questions may arise from her history in Florida”

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.
It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

It’s the Epstein Administration.
No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting.

Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Is ICE building a “black box” detention center where you live?
The rogue agency is spending hundreds of millions of dollars buying up empty warehouse space across the country to hold detainees.
Here’s what you should know — and what can be done about it.

There is NOTHING ‘America First’ about selling out some of our most pristine waters so a Chilean mining company can come in, take our minerals, ship them to China for processing, then sell them off.
All while polluting the Boundary Waters in the process.

Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein.
He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse.
Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million.
