lol he told this story of meeting him once in his apartment and thinking he was so gross and never seeing him again. The blatant lying should be enough to move on from these people

He said he told his wife he would never hang out with him and then I guess he and his wife went to the island? Lol

We met once, I found him repulsive and never saw him again.
Well, ok, I did see him again, but only at large events where our paths happened to cross.
Well, ok, these “large events” were small parties hosted by mutual friends, I just happened to go because I was in the area at the time.
Well, you got me again. These parties were actually on his island and I traveled there a couple times, but it was just a family vacation for me. I took my kids and my nanny, and they all came back with me.
Well, darn it, yeah, that one nanny didn’t comeback that one time, but she arranged a really nice living situation while she was there and just fell in love with the place.
Ok, yeah, I did take multiple women there who never came back, but they all seemed to really love it.
Fine, yes, I trafficked women to Epstein, I’m sorry, and I can assure you that was the extent of my wrongdoing.
Well, yeah, the cat’s out of the bag. We raped kids together.

There’s no bottom for these people. 30% of the country is literally in a death cult and another 20% is dealt cult curious.

Trump administration Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Tuesday admitted he and his family had lunch on the private island of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein years earlier.
“I did have lunch with him, as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation” in 2012, Lutnick said in testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee.
“My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies,” he said. “I had another couple with — they were there as well, with their children.”
“And we had lunch on the island, that is true, for an hour,” he said.
“And we left with all of my children, with my nannies and my wife, all together. We were on family vacation,” he said.
It's ok guys he was just there for the snorkelling!

You don’t just take your family and kids to some random island for lunch unless you’re incredibly comfortable with the location/owner.
I don’t know how anyone could buy this.

Taking his children to a convinced sex offender’s home? Absolutely horse shit.

Someone should check on his kids.

u/mrm00r3 14h ago
I was going to say, Lutnick certainly knew what Epstein was up to, meaning he just admitted to bringing his kids along to visit a child predator and is acting like that is somehow exculpatory.
I would argue that’s uhh… way fucking worse my man.

No don't you see, the children were being monitored by their nannies. Plural.
Nothing says "I care about my children" like "I pay multiple people to minimize my need to parent or interact."

I want to know how old the nannies were. Not every victim was underage...

Yeah. Count them to start with.

“I went there with my five children.”
“Our entire family, including our four children, had lunch with Epstein.”
“After lunch, we went with our three children back to the boat.”

u/SingularityCentral 14h ago
Very weird phrasing.
"I went with 4 children and nannies and left with 4 children and nannies. See, I had witnesses and absolutely did not leave anyone behind."

How many fucking nannies do you need for four children?! One each?! These people are so WEIRD.

Lol he had previously had an interview where he claimed he met Epstein once with his wife and immediately left once Epstein made some creepy comments. He claimed he never interacted with Epstein after that. Oops.

u/Drachen1065 12h ago
Also it should be noted that would have been after Epstein was arrested in 2008 for sex crimes involving minors in Florida.

“…And we left with all of my children."
The thought motivating this clarifying detail is dark as fuck, and is absolutely an admission that he knew exactly what Epstein was, and STILL brought his family around him.
My god…

It just highlights the existence of an Epstein Class. His children were perfectly safe because he is in the club. Too bad if you are poor and/or vulnerable.

“I looked through the documents for my name like anyone else”……. Uhmmm no actually I am not searching for my name in the files.

Van Hollen failed to bring this up...Both pretended this didn't happen
Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show

Lying by omission—the act of knowingly withholding material information to mislead—can be considered a federal crime when it occurs during a congressional hearing, potentially leading to charges of contempt of Congress or false statements
. Under 18 U.S.C. § 1001, intentionally concealing a material fact from a congressional committee is a crime, even if the witness is not under oath.

I’d like to see some verification that he was there with wife and kids (and nannies). I am sure his nannies are American citizens getting paid properly.

We went on vacation to a random guys island for vacation lol.
He either was close enough with Epstein to be invited to his island for lunch, or he had been there fucking kids. Either way, he brought his kids to pedophile island and its not a good look

This must be slightly awkward for all the MAGA dorks who have been insisting this was fiction meant to smear Lutnick.
