President Donald Trump on Thursday said he did not know about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s 2012 trip to pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious private island but then told a reporter he had heard about details oif the trip.
Speaking from the Roosevelt Room during an event to announce the repeal of a longstanding climate rule reviled by the fossil fuel industry, Trump was asked if he’d been aware of Lutnick’s travel to Little Saint James, the small part of the U.S. Virgin Islands previously owned by Epstein, and whether he still has confidence in the former bond trading executive.
