Lutnick's Convenient Conventions US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's testimony before the House Oversight and Reform Committee has left more questions than answers about his ties to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
His assertion that he had only three "inconsequential" meetings with Epstein seems like a straightforward attempt at damage control, but it raises more red flags about his involvement in the scandal.
Lutnick's downplaying of his interactions with Epstein is striking. He describes their encounters as "meaningless and inconsequential," but this characterization doesn't quite add up.
