U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed during a congressional hearing that he visited Jeffrey Epstein's private Caribbean island in 2012. This testimony clashes with his earlier claims that he ended his relationship with Epstein in 2005. Following these conflicting reports, several lawmakers from both parties have called for Lutnick to resign. However, the White House stated that he still has the president's full support. Lutnick noted that he has not been accused of any crimes or misconduct related to Epstein. As the testimony took place, a group of survivors of Epstein's abuse gathered to announce a new bill. This proposed law would remove statutes of limitations, the legal time limits that can prevent survivors from filing civil lawsuits for past abuse.
