Refreshing to see criminal and journalistic investigations go forward in Norway. The scandal is meaningful and there is a meaningful response. All of us should do so well.

VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

Khanna: "Here we have a sitting cabinet member, Lutnick, who's all over the files as having a business relationship allegedly and personal relationship alleged after Epstein was convicted. He's allegedly lied about his relationship. And there's no consequence. We need to get real in this country."

This morning, I went to see what were supposed to be the completely unredacted Epstein files. However, some of the files were still redacted by Kash Patel’s FBI.

Here’s my reaction.

Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein.

He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse.

Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million.

Both men are alive.

How come they've never been asked to testify?

Lutnick last year on his visit to Epstein's house in 2005: "My wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again." (Lutnick testified under oath today that he visited Epstein's island in 2012.)

Trump is the central figure in the Epstein files, with his name dwarfing that of all others excepting Epstein himself. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files the previous day, it came up "more than a million times."

Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files "more than a million times," Raskin alleges

One document recounts that Trump said he "never" asked Epstein to leave Mar-a-Lago.

Maybe not trust crisis, but the scandalization of Norwegian politics has reached a new level. And as I say here, political trust isn't extremely important for any one thing in particular, but it plays a role in many things, like voter turnout, welfare systems, acceptance of foreigners, and more.

Epstein affair triggers crisis of trust in Norway

From the crown princess to a former prime minister, the Epstein affair has implicated some of Norway's most prominent personalities, triggering a crisis of confidence in a society that prizes trust.
