‘The Greatest Blackmailer Ever’: Commerce Secretary Lutnick on His Former Neighbor Jeffrey Epstein (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Paul Serran

There’s more than meets the eye.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick graced the latest episode of the New York Post’s ‘Pod Force One’, delving into subjects ranging from trade to tariffs—and, surprisingly, to the notorious Jeffrey Epstein.

In a rather unconventional take that contradicts Department of Justice narratives, Lutnick boldly stated that Epstein was, in no uncertain terms, ‘the greatest blackmailer ever’.

Lutnick posits that Epstein possessed compromising videos of affluent and influential individuals indulging in—let’s say—‘massages’ with young women.

He even suggested that Epstein leveraged these visuals to secure his infamous 2008 ‘sweetheart plea deal’.

As reported by New York Post:

“The 64-year-old cabinet secretary recounted that during a tour of Epstein’s infamous East 71st Street townhouse—after moving in next door in 2005—Epstein pointed out his infamous ‘massage room’.”

“Lutnick recalls saying, ‘Massage table in the middle of your house? How often do you get a massage?’ Epstein responded, ‘Every day.’ Then, in a rather discomforting manner, he leaned closer and added, ‘And the right kind of massage.’”

“Lutnick shared that his wife and he hastily exited Epstein’s residence, declaring, ‘in the six to eight steps it takes to get from his house to my house, we resolved I would never again be in the room with that revolting individual.’”

Lutnick further asserted his belief that Epstein’s cadre of affluent associates—think Prince Andrew and Bill Gates—were complicit in the alleged sordid activities.

“They partake in massages; that was his modus operandi. ‘Get a massage, get a massage,’ and what unfolded in that massage room, I assume, was all on tape,” affirmed the Secretary of Commerce. “This man was the ultimate blackmailer, and that is how he amassed his fortune.”
