Scandal continues to escalate, another big scandal erupts in the U.S. political arena, this time targeting the Department of Commerce!
On February 10, the Epstein files were declassified, revealing that the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Luis Lutnick, was deeply involved in a scandal. He had publicly claimed that he had cut ties with Epstein in 2005, but the declassified documents showed that the two remained in contact and had business cooperation afterward, even planning to meet on an island. Members from both parties in the U.S. Congress have demanded his resignation, while the White House tried to protect him, but the trust crisis could not be concealed. As a key figure in trade policy, his departure or stay will directly affect the advancement of the U.S. economic agenda.
[Clever] The U.S. political arena has once again exposed a major scandal, with Lutnick being pressured by both parties for concealing connections and lying publicly, completely tearing off the mask of American political morality. The Epstein case continues to unfold, with a large number of archives revealing the secret relationships within the elite circle, highlighting the hypocrisy and division of American democracy. Historically, high-level scandals in the United States occur frequently, but they are often resolved through political maneuvering. This time, the rare joint pressure from both parties is essentially a power struggle. Lutnick holds significant economic and trade power, and being embroiled in a scandal will inevitably impact policy stability. The so-called moral integrity and transparency are powerless against interests and power struggles, and the farce of American democracy is once again on display!
