Epstein Case Sparks New Scandal in Washington

A group of U.S. lawmakers has called for Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick to resign amid new revelations regarding his possible connections to Jeffrey Epstein. This was reported by the Financial Times, citing political sources.

The demand comes in light of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice which, according to lawmakers, contradict Lutnick's earlier claims of fully severing ties with Epstein. The documents have raised questions about the credibility of the Secretary's statements.

According to the publication, there is also a discussion in Congress about the possibility of inviting Howard Lutnick to official hearings to clarify the situation. As of now, no definite decision has been made regarding this matter.

At the time of publication, Secretary Lutnick had not provided an official comment regarding resignation or allegations. Developments continue to remain on the U.S. political agenda.
