Commerce Secretary Lutnick Deems Jeffrey Epstein 'The Greatest Blackmailer'

Written by Published

Firsthand experiences hold significant weight in understanding complex issues.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick recently shared his insights during an appearance on the New York Post's 'Pod Force One,' where he discussed topics ranging from commerce and tariffs to the controversial figure, Jeffrey Epstein.

In a departure from the Department of Justice's stance, Lutnick described Epstein as "the greatest blackmailer ever." He suggested that Epstein possessed incriminating videos of influential individuals receiving "massages" from young women, which he allegedly used as leverage to secure his infamous 2008 plea deal.

According to the New York Post, Lutnick recounted a personal encounter with Epstein, recalling a tour of Epstein's notorious East 71st Street townhouse. During this visit, Epstein reportedly boasted about his "massage room," prompting Lutnick to question the frequency of such massages.

Epstein's unsettling response, "Every day," coupled with his cryptic remark about "the right kind of massage," left a lasting impression on Lutnick and his wife.

The couple swiftly exited Epstein's residence, resolving never to associate with him again. Lutnick further speculated that Epstein's affluent associates, including figures like Prince Andrew and Bill Gates, may have been involved in illicit activities.

"They get a massage, thats what his MO was. 'Get a massage, get a massage,' and what happened in that massage room, I assume, was on video," Lutnick asserted. "This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever, blackmailed people. Thats how he had money."
