"Howard Lutnick, currently serving as Trump's US secretary of commerce, arranged to visit Jeffrey Epstein's island in 2012, according to Epstein-related files released by the Department of Justice on Friday. According to the newly released documents, on 20 November 2012, Epstein's longtime assistant emailed Lutnick saying that Jeffrey Epstein understands you will be down in St Thomas some over the holidays and that Jeffrey requested I please pass along some phone numbers to you so the two of you can possibly get together."
"On 19 December 2012, Lutnick sent an email to Jeff telling him that that he and several others, including his wife, children and some friends and their children, were visiting the Caribbean and were on Lutnick's boat. We are landing in St Thomas early Saturday afternoon and planning to head over to St Bart's/Anguilla on Monday at some point Lutnick wrote. Where are you located (what is exact location for my captain)?? Does Sunday evening for dinner sound good?"
"An individual whose name is redacted replied: Below from Jeffrey: come sat or sunday lunch? little st james on the map, behind christmans cove. The documents appear to suggest that a meeting took place, as on 24 December, Epstein emailed his assistant with the subject line: please forward to howard lutnik. The email body reads: nice seeing you, read #2 dot three. The assistant responds Will do! and then forwards the message to Lutnick."
Emails from November and December 2012 show Epstein's assistant contacting Howard Lutnick about Lutnick being in St. Thomas over the holidays and passing phone numbers to arrange a meeting. On December 19 Lutnick emailed Epstein saying he, his wife, children and friends were on his boat, describing travel plans, asking for Epstein's captain location and proposing dinner. A redacted reply relayed Epstein's instruction: 'come sat or sunday lunch? little st james on the map, behind christmans cove.' On December 24 Epstein sent a message to be forwarded to Lutnick reading 'nice seeing you, read #2 dot three,' which was forwarded. Lutnick later said he spent 'zero time' with Epstein. A 2015 email suggests Lutnick invited Epstein to a Hillary Clinton fundraiser.
