Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with a firm once run by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick may date back 11 years further than previously known, according to a newly unearthed document flagged by independent journalist Kaitlyn Pierce, who writes under the name Kait Justice.

Lutnick told The New York Post last year that he had cut off all ties with Epstein in 2005, but the Justice Department’s release of Epstein-related files quickly contradicted that claim. The files showed Lutnick visited Epstein’s private island in 2012 and that the two maintained contact through at least 2018.

Lutnick and Epstein were also discovered to have been “in business together as recently as 2014,” per CBS News, with the two of them both signing onto a deal to acquire stakes in a now-defunct technology company called Adfin.

    Perhaps you’re one of those people who is fortunate enough never have to actually deal with people who are as toxic and narcissistic is Donald Trump. Unfortunately, both of my parents are malignant narcissists. So I’ve picked up a thing or two about how to deal with them…

    People like Donald Trump don’t “learn lessons“. There will be no “justice“. Not in the way that you’re thinking. The only two justice that will ever be achieved with Donald Trump is for him to just fucking die.

    That’s not to say that the courts shouldn’t hold everyone around him, including his shit-sucking sons, accountable for all of their associated crimes. but the best outcome for Donald Trump? The best outcome for everyone involved is that he just fucking dies of a massive stroke, preferably while in the middle of delivering one of his hateful, disgusting, rambling, crazy person, speeches. Right on live TV, for everyone to see.
