The president has sought to distance himself from his commerce secretary after the latter was caught lying about his ties to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
President Donald Trump also insisted that, unlike the embattled Howard Lutnick, he never visited the Virgin Islands haven where Epstein’s heinous crimes took place—but he feared that someone might one day suggest otherwise.
Asked if he was aware that Lutnick had visited Epstein’s private island, Trump, 79, told reporters on Thursday: “No, I wasn’t aware of it.”
