U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was “outed” on Feb. 7 for lying about his sustained relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The files show that he was in business with Epstein until at least 2014. However, it has been standard practice for those in the Epstein world to claim that they disassociated with him after the 2007 “discovery” that he was a sex pervert—and Lutnick was one of those who had done so.
On Feb. 7, U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced: “According to legal documents and emails, Epstein and Lutnick did business together and Lutnick vacationed on Epstein’s island, LONG AFTER Lutnick claims they parted ways and after LONG AFTER Epstein was a known sex offender.” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) then cited Massie’s announcement and added: “Secretary Lutnick must resign.”
Jack Lang, a former French Minister of Culture and Education, and presently the president of France’s Arab World Institute (AWI), now has now offered his resignation, after French prosecutors announced on Feb. 6 that a preliminary investigation into Lang has been launched for his alleged “aggravated tax fraud laundering.” Various media accounts reported that the Epstein files triggered the prosecutors’ action.
Lang’s name appeared hundreds of times in the Epstein files and Lang’s daughter Caroline Lang, according to Mediapart, was in Epstein’s will for $6 million. According to RT, Lang wrote French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot that the “toxic” climate of “personal attacks” risked harming “this magnificent institution.” The AWI is based in Paris and was founded in 1980 by France along with 18 Arab countries.
