John Kennedy Urges Pam Bondi To Interview Trump Cabinet Secretary After Epstein Blackmailer Claim

Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy during a Tuesday hearing urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to interview Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick following his claims about deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Lutnick said on “Pod Force One” Wednesday that Epstein was the “greatest blackmailer ever,” contradicting the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) July conclusion that no evidence suggested the deceased pedophile blackmailed prominent individuals with a “client list.” Kennedy asked about the interview during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, with Bondi indicating she had viewed the portion where Lutnick made the blackmail claim.

WATCH:

“It appears that Secretary Lutnick was Mr. Epstein’s next-door neighbor. In fact, their town homes shared a wall,” Kennedy said. “And the reporter that was talking to Mr. Lutnick, she asked how other prominent men could have been associated with Epstein when Mr. Lutnick could immediately sense that he was a ‘pervert.’ And then the reporter said, ‘Did they see it and ignore it?’ Do you remember that from the interview?”

Bondi confirmed she recalled that segment.

“And Commerce Secretary Lutnick said, ‘No. They participated.’ And then Commerce Secretary Lutnick goes on to say, ‘That’s what his MO was. You know, get a massage, get a massage. And what happened in that massage room, I assume, was a video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever, blackmailed people. That’s how he had money.’ Is that true?” Kennedy asked.
