US Lawmakers Demand Howard Lutnick's Resignation Over Epstein Links

• Two US lawmakers, Republican Thomas Massie and Democrat Robert Garcia, are pressuring Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign.
• The calls for resignation follow the release of new federal records connecting Lutnick to Jeffrey Epstein.
• Records suggest Lutnick visited Epstein's private island in 2012 and had business dealings, contradicting his earlier claims of severing ties by 2005.
• Massie stated Lutnick should resign to spare the administration political fallout, while Garcia accused Lutnick of lying about his relationship with Epstein.
• A Commerce Department spokesperson stated Lutnick had only "limited interactions" with Epstein and has not been accused of wrongdoing.
