Bipartisan Demands Epstein Casualty Lutnik Quit Cabinet

Monday, February 09, 2026

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is facing bipartisan calls to resign after he appeared in a recent batch of files linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) accused Lutnick in a statement Monday of having "lied" about the extent of his connection to Epstein. Lutnick has sought to downplay their relationship, saying in a podcast appearance last year he vowed in 2005 to never again be in the same room as Epstein. But files recently released by the Justice Department suggest he continued his interactions with Epstein, including planning a visit several years later to Epstein's Caribbean island.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told CNN during an interview that aired over the weekend that Lutnick should "make life easier on the president, frankly, and just resign." House Democrats, including top Oversight Committee member Robert Garcia, have also called on Lutnick to go.

"It's now clear that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has been lying about his relationship with Epstein," the Californian posted on X. "Lutnick must resign or be fired. And he must answer our questions."

The self-serving Trumpf junta apparatchiks are incapable of shame or embarrassment.

Good-for-no-one ultrarich Howard Nutlick is a perennial liar and vulture capitalist.

And hypocritical US Secretary Treasury good-for-nothing billionaire Scott Bessent is allowed to be happily married to his husband John Freeman and raise children thanks to progressive Democratic legislators who made it legal for them.

What MAGAt or rightwing Christian pastor thinks gay marriage is OK?

Moreover, this oligarchic monster supports breaking Canada apart, a country that protects LGBTQ people and legalized same-sex marriage years ago.

Dummkopf Trumpf didn't drain the swamp, he filled it with greedy misfits, oligarchs, and hypocrites.
