Lutnick visited Epstein island in 2015 — despite having publicly vowed to "never be in a room with that disgusting person"

Trump's Secretary of Commerce wrote to Epstein detailing a trip to St. Thomas with another couple and their eight children (ages 7–16) and asking Epstein to join them for dinner. Epstein then invited them to Little St. James.

Lutnick had previously described a 2005 meeting with Epstein as so repulsive he swore off any future contact.
