Emails reveal that US Commerce Secretary Lutnick scheduled a visit to Epstein Island.

 

Emails reveal that US Commerce Department Secretary Howard Lutnick, years after claiming to have severed relations with the convicted pedophile, organized a trip to Jeffrey Epstein's island with his family.

According to emails included in the most recent Epstein papers made public by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), the millionaire businessman, his wife, their four children, and another family intended to visit Little Saint James in 2012.

The emails go against what Lutnick said in October regarding his 2005 promise to "never be in a room" with Epstein.

Lutnick has never been charged with any misconduct related to Epstein, according to a Commerce Department official.

Millions of pages from the Epstein files were made public by the justice department on Friday. This is the most papers the government has made public since a law requiring their release last year.

Lutnick and his family scheduled a trip to Little Saint James, a private island that Epstein bought in 1998, according to multiple emails.

 

Lutnick's wife Allison emailed Epstein's assistant in December 2012, saying, "We are looking forward to visiting you." In the morning, we will arrive from Caneel Bay. We have two families, each with four children between the ages of seven and sixteen—six boys and two girls. I hope that's alright. We would be delighted to have lunch with you.

A few days before to his wife's email, Lutnick sent the following email to a redacted recipient: "Hi Jeff, We are landing in St. Thomas early Saturday afternoon and planning to head over to St. Bart's/Anguilla on Monday at some point... Does Sunday evening for dinner sound good?"

Lutnick then states that another family is with his family and requests exact geographical information from his boat captain.

In December, more emails were sent regarding Howard Lutnick going to dine with Epstein on the island.

A redacted sender sent Lutnick an email on December 24, 2012, stating that Epstein wished to give him a note that read, "Nice seeing you"—implying that at least one visit had taken place.

There is no indication of misconduct in the emails.

In an interview with the New York Post in October 2025, Lutnick claimed that he had severed his relationship with Epstein in 2005 while they were neighbors in New York.

Lutnick told the newspaper that Epstein had shown him and his spouse his massage room during a tour of his Manhattan apartment.

"Massage table in the middle of your house?" I ask him. How frequently do you get a massage?Lutnick informed the Post. "And he says, 'Every day.'" Then he approaches me strangely and says, "And the right kind of massage."

After leaving Epstein's home, "in the six to eight steps it takes to get from his house to my house, my wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again," Lutnick told the source.

"Secretary Lutnick had limited interactions with Mr. Epstein in the presence of his wife and has never been accused of wrongdoing," the Commerce Department told the BBC in a statement.

The DOJ made three million papers, 180,000 photos, and 2,000 films available to the public on Friday.

After reaching a contentious plea deal with prosecutors, Epstein was found guilty in Florida in 2008 of asking a 14-year-old girl for sex.

While incarcerated on suspicion of sex trafficking, he passed away in August 2019.
