The U.S. Commerce Secretary had planned to visit a private island of a sex offender and had maintained long-term contact.

Bloomberg: According to U.S. Department of Justice documents, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had planned to visit Jeffrey Epstein's private island and maintained contact with this sex offender for much longer than he previously claimed.

Lutnick recently said in an interview that after visiting Jeffrey Epstein's residence in 2005, he felt very disgusted and cut off all relations with Epstein.

However, the emails released today tell a completely different story, showing that Lutnick remained in contact with Epstein for many years afterward, including an email from 2012 discussing the matter of visiting Epstein's private island.

But it's not that bad, he mentioned in the email that he wanted to take his children, which could easily be an excuse.
