Garcia Questions Lutnick's Epstein Ties

0:00It's March 25th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, where the headlines shine. Powered by AI, Representative Robert Garcia is raising questions about Howard Lutnik's connections to Jeffrey Epstein. New documents from the Justice Department's Epstein files show the two men did business together as recently as 2014. This clashes with Lutnik's earlier statements that he ended all contact years before that. These files came out under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. They include emails hinting at plans for Lutnik to visit Epstein's private island, suggesting ties lingered after 2005. Lutnik, a billionaire finance leader now tapped for a role in President-elect Trump's Cabinet, has denied any ongoing relationship with Epstein. Epstein himself died in federal custody in 2019, while facing sex trafficking charges. Garcia sees this as a major credibility problem for Lutnik, and is calling for sworn testimony plus more document releases. Starting February 9th, members of Congress can review unredacted versions of these files
