Trump's commerce secretary calls Jeffrey Epstein the 'greatest blackmailer'

[Jilly_in_VA]

For months, President Donald Trump has pleaded with his supporters to move on from the Jeffrey Epstein controversy − calling it a "Democratic hoax” − even as he faces growing calls from Congress and many in his own MAGA base for more disclosure on the jet-setting sex offender.

But Trump's fellow billionaire and Commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, apparently didn't get the memo.

Lutnick held forth on a recent podcast about how he found Epstein, who was a close friend of Trump's for more than a decade, to be “gross" and believed he was a "blackmailer."

“He was gross,” said Lutnick, in a Oct.1 podcast interview with New York Post’s Miranda Devine. Lutnick described Epstein as the "greatest blackmailer ever" and suggested he had used compromising videos of prominent men to get a 2008 sweetheart deal in Florida amid a child prostitution investigation.

Those comments sharply differ from a memo released by the Justice Department and FBI in July which said that there was no "credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals" or that he kept an "incriminating client list.”
