“To us, everything is permitted.” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick evidently counts on it. He is still lying about his long-running relationship to Epstein, according to a Feb. 23 Mother Jones article which apparently came from digging into DoJ-released files and expanding on a brief CBS News report in January.
Epstein and Lutnick were co-investors in something called AdFin. Lutnick’s office had lied to CBS last month that he was a “minor investor,” and as such would not have known who the others were; but in fact he and Epstein corresponded about their joint investment while Lutnick gradually had Cantor Fitzgerald take AdFin over. In the process they exchanged jocular emails about another real estate venture by Lutnick, and about trying to stop a renovation of the Frick Museum which was going to block their adjacent townhouses’ view. All this in the 20-teens, between Epstein’s first conviction and his final jailing.
