Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.
Epstein mocked Trump for “leaving his nose print on the glass” while watching young women, wrote that Trump knew about illicit activity tied to Mar-a-Lago, and visited “many times,” and noted Trump’s planned visit to his neighbor Howard Lutnick’s house.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Our deep dive into the recesses of Epstein's inbox found repeated instances of him seeking to exploit his Trump relationship. "I am the one able to take him down," Epstein wrote in December 2018. 🎁🔗 @jsgatnyt.bsky.social @nickconfessore.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...
