  2. The Guardian | Howard Lutnick said he had three ‘inconsequential’ meetings with Epstein by Anna Betts

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Howard Lutnick, the U.S. commerce secretary, testified before a House oversight committee that he met Jeffrey Epstein only three times—in 2005 for coffee at Epstein’s home, in 2011 to discuss “scaffolding,” and in 2012 for a brief, “meaningless and inconsequential” lunch on Epstein’s private island—describing each encounter as insignificant and denying any personal or professional relationship or any knowledge of illegal activity. He recounted that during the 2005 visit he saw a massage table and was told Epstein received a “right kind of massage” daily, which he interpreted as possibly sexual, prompting him and his wife to sever ties. Lutnick asserted he never saw young women or girls at Epstein’s residence or island and condemned Epstein’s conduct. Democratic lawmakers criticized his testimony as evasive, while the Republican committee chair praised his transparency. Lutnick’s statements contradicted earlier comments made on a podcast and have fueled calls for his resignation as the first Trump‑administration official to appear before the panel.

    by Constance Grady, Mar 12, 2026

    Excerpt: "It appears that Epstein wasn’t the only bad actor surrounding Wexner. #EdRazek, former chief marketing officer at #LBrands and a close friend of Wexner’s, has been accused of nonconsensually groping Victoria’s Secret models and blackballing those who refused his advances. #MikeJeffries, the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, is awaiting trial on #SexTrafficking and prostitution charges, having allegedly targeted young men who modeled for #Abercrombie, worked as the stores’ infamous shirtless greeters, or aspired to do any of the above. Bruce Weber, a photographer who shot many of Abercrombie’s famously edgy ads, has been accused of sexually exploiting male models."
