Lutnick’s Epstein Ties Raise Concerns on Wall Street — but Not in the White House

  • The White House continued to back Howard Lutnick, and last week President Donald Trump said he was unaware of Lutnick's 2012 island visit, despite his appearance in Epstein files.
  • Records show that in December 2012 Lutnick and Epstein signed an agreement to acquire stakes in a now-shuttered advertising technology company and planned a visit to Epstein's private island that same month.

  • Meanwhile, closed‑door depositions have continued, including Ghislaine Maxwell invoking her Fifth last Monday and Wexner's deposition scheduled through Feb. 18, Comer told reporters.
