Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein.

Now we learned that they were in business together.

He has no business being our Commerce Secretary.

He should resign.

Remember that Tom Barrack was prosecuted (but acquitted) for being the foreign agent of these folks.
This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

Trump's Secretary Howard Lutnick distanced himself from Epstein, calling him "gross" & claiming he cut ties decades ago. Now, 2012 emails reveal he eagerly accepted an invitation to the island (years after Epstein dodged FL sex trafficking charges with a plea of soliciting a minor for prostitution).

What the fuck...are people hearing what he is saying...both the hypocrisy and the insanity...
Trump on Mpls: "Do these people really want to have rapists and drug dealers and people from prisons and murderers, do they really want to have them in the community? It's really insurrectionists and agitators and they're paid ... everybody has a beautiful sign with brand new wood. Leather panels."

Susan Collins praised ICE as recently as yesterday! The day before she voted to funnel the paramilitary billions of dollars that could go to schools or hospitals etc.

Not sure how many Mainers know this! Would be a good time for the folks with big megaphones/wallets to spread the word. #MEpolitics
Union Carpenter Derek Ellis of Skowhegan was down the street from his job site in Portland when he saw ICE agents shout at a woman to "get the hell out" of her car. As they tore her out of her car, she screamed "I'm a US citizen! I'm a citizen!" as her small child in a carseat cried hysterically.

As ICE's actions have proven over and over again, their mission is not to catch dangerous criminals. Their mission is to deprive Americans of their Constitutional rights.

They particularly target the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 10th, and 14th Amendments.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

This was four years after Epstein had pleaded guilty to (and sentenced to incarceration for) solicitation of prostitution with a minor.
NEW: Howard Lutnick, the billionaire who serves as President Trump’s commerce secretary, planned a visit to Epstein’s island in 2012.

Lutnick previously claimed that he was so revolted by Epstein that he had cut ties with him years earlier.
