"KENNEDY: I've got to ask you about this, general. Secretary Howard Lutnick on October 1 gave an interview to The New York Post about Mr. Epstein. And he described Mr. Eppstein as, quote, the greatest blackmailer ever, close quote. Have you reviewed that transcript of that interview? BONDI: I have not reviewed the transcript, but I saw the clip of it."
"KENNEDY: Okay. It appears that Secretary Lutnick was Mr. Epstein's next door neighbor. In fact, their townhomes shared a wall.

And then Secretary Lutnick said, or rather the reporter said, Did they see it and ignore it? Do you remember that from the interview? BONDI: I do."
"KENNEDY: And Commerce Secretary Lutnick said, No, they participated. And then Commerce Secretary Lutnick goes on to say, quote, That's what his MO was. You know, get a massage, get amassage.

Bondi also noted the case spanned multiple administrations. Kennedy threatened to compel Lutnick to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee over his comments.
