There's just no end to the Epstein liars. We knew Commerce Sec. Howard Lutnick met with Epstein on the island with his wife, children and nannies (which is gross in itself) but there are even more lies:

Lutnick has had a big problem since the trove was released last month. He previously insisted he and his wife cut ties with Epstein in 2005, after they moved next door to Epstein's mansion in New York City. In an interview last year, Lutnick said that Epstein had given them an unsettling tour of his home and that he vowed he would "never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again.

But the files showed that Lutnick and his family visited Epstein on his private island in 2012, that Epstein in 2017 donated $50,000 to a charity dinner honoring Lutnick, and that the following year the two communicated about countering an expansion of a neighboring museum.

Earlier this month, CBS News revealed more on their connection by reporting that Lutnick and Epstein each signed a contract in 2012--four years after Epstein pleaded guilty to sex crimes--to invest in a digital ad technology company called AdFin Solutions Inc. The deal was dated just five days after Lutnick and his family visited Epstein on his private island. Lutnick signed on behalf of a limited liability company controlled by Cantor Fitzgerald, the investment firm where he served as CEO.

Lutnick's camp has tried to minimize his involvement with Epstein through their shared investment in AdFin. A spokesperson for the Commerce Department told CBS News, "Secretary Lutnick had limited interactions with Mr. Epstein in the presence of his wife and has never been accused of wrongdoing." And a source close to Lutnick told the network that Cantor was "a small minority investor" in the venture. This source added that at "the time of doing the deal, as a minority investor, Mr. Lutnick would not have any knowledge of who the other investors were."

That is misleading. Emails and documents in the massive Epstein release not yet reported reveal that Lutnick went on to become a prominent figure in AdFin--not merely a minority investor--and that he and his company were financially interconnected with Epstein in the venture for at least six years. They also show that Cantor essentially took over AdFin, as Epstein played a role as an investor in the struggling firm. It is highly improbable that Lutnick did not know Epstein was a key shareholder.

Come on:

An email exchange from May 28, 2018, shows "HWL" (Lutnick's middle name is William) discussing AdFin with Epstein--an apparent sign that Lutnick was aware of Epstein's involvement in the company and that he maintained a business relationship with Epstein far longer than he has acknowledged.

In this exchange, the two discussed AdFin's status. Epstein asked HWL, "what do you think the prospects for adfin are?" In an email marked "confidential" and "the sole property of Cantor Fitzgerald LP and its affiliates," HWL replied, "Producing revenue finally. This is their year. Next 12 months they need to become economically self sufficient.
