President Donald Trump said he was unaware of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s reported visit near Jeffrey Epstein’s island and denied ever being there himself. “No, I wasn’t aware of it… I wasn’t. I was never there,” Trump told reporters, adding he has not discussed the matter with Lutnick. He suggested Lutnick was reportedly accompanied by his wife and children during the encounter.
Lutnick, testifying before a Senate committee, denied having a relationship with Epstein, stating he met him only three times over 14 years, including once when Epstein moved next door and another time during a lunch on a boat near the island. Lawmakers continue pressing for clarity amid calls for accountability.
