"Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has long distanced himself publicly from his onetime neighbor and acquaintance Jeffrey Epstein. In a podcast interview last year, he recounted a moment when Epstein, while giving Lutnick and his wife a tour of his home in 2005, made a lewd joke about owning a massage table. Lutnick said he and his wife quickly left the house, and that he decided that he would "never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again.""
"A New York Times analysis revealed that Lutnick's name appeared in more than 250 documents in the latest Epstein file release. According to the outlet, the documents show the two men reaching out to each other via email, but also appearing on each others' personal schedules, suggesting in-person meetings. On May 1, 2011, Lutnick was scheduled to have drinks with Epstein, and seemed to have left his phone behind at the house, per emails."

The Justice Department released more than three million documents from the federal Epstein investigation that include over 250 files referencing Lutnick. The documents show email exchanges, appearances on each other's personal schedules, and evidence suggesting in-person meetings. On May 1, 2011 Lutnick was scheduled to have drinks with Epstein and left his phone at Epstein's house, according to emails. In 2012 Lutnick inquired about visiting Epstein's Little St. James island while traveling with his family.
