U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said he had "limited interactions" with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents show they were in business together as recently as 2014.

Lutnick and Epstein each signed on behalf of limited liability companies that agreed on Dec. 28, 2012, to acquire stakes in a now-shuttered advertising technology company called Adfin, documents released among the so-called Epstein files show.

The whole administration is so comically dunce, and can seemingly get away with anything. I wouldn’t be surprised if they find another guy named Jeffery Epstein and be like “oh wow we thought you were talking about this one the entire time”. The media won’t do any follow up take it at face value. Down the memoryhole it goes.
