Lutnick then asks for specific location details for his boat captain, and mentions that another family is with his family.
Other emails were exchanged in December about Howard Lutnick joining Epstein for lunch on the island.
On 24 December 2012, Lutnick received an email from a redacted sender that said Epstein wanted to pass a message to him, which said: “Nice seeing you” – suggesting that at least one visit did happen.
The emails do not indicate any wrongdoing.
According to an October 2025 interview with the New York Post, Lutnick said he had cut ties with Epstein in 2005 when the pair were neighbours in New York.
Lutnick explained to the newspaper that Epstein had given him and his wife a tour of his Manhattan townhouse, where the late financier showed off his massage room.
“I say to him, ‘Massage table in the middle of your house? How often do you have a massage?'” Lutnick told the Post. “And he says, ‘Every day.’ And then he gets, like weirdly close to me, and he says, ‘And the right kind of massage’.”
Lutnick told the outlet that, after leaving Epstein’s house, “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”.
The Commerce Department said in a statement to the BBC that “Secretary Lutnick had limited interactions with Mr Epstein in the presence of his wife and has never been accused of wrongdoing”.
Three million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos were posted publicly by the DOJ on Friday.
Epstein was convicted in 2008 in Florida for soliciting sex from a 14-year-old girl after coming to a controversial plea agreement with prosecutors.
He died in August 2019 while in jail on charges in a sex trafficking case.
