The records and Tuesday\u2019s testimony contradict Mr. Lutnick\u2019s assertion on a podcast last year that he had been so disgusted by Mr. Epstein during a 2005 visit to his townhouse that Mr. Lutnick never set foot in a room with Mr. Epstein again. There had been calls for Mr. Lutnick\u2019s resignation even before he gave his testimony.\u201cSecretary Lutnick remains a very important member of President Trump\u2019s team and the president fully supports the secretary,\u201d Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said on Tuesday.Mr. Epstein, who was convicted in Florida in 2008 of soliciting prostitution from a minor, died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while being held on federal sex-trafficking charges.Mr. Lutnick\u2019s name appeared in more than 250 documents in the Epstein files released by the Justice Department, a review by The New York Times found.In a statement, a Commerce Department spokesman said Mr. Lutnick and his wife met Mr. Epstein in 2005 and had \u201cvery limited interactions with him\u201d over the ensuing years.The spokesman said that scrutiny of Mr. Lutnick by the news media was an attempt to \u201cdistract from the administration\u2019s accomplishments.\u201dThe previously scheduled hearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee was meant to address the Commerce Department\u2019s role in building U.S. broadband networks. But Democrats took the opportunity to question Mr. Lutnick and his ties to Mr. Epstein, which came to light in the Justice Department\u2019s recently released files.Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, accused the secretary of misrepresenting the extent of his contact with the convicted sex offender, saying Mr. Lutnick\u2019s prior claims were, \u201cat best, highly misleading.\u201dThe inconsistencies of Mr. Lutnick\u2019s accounts called into question his fitness for office and his statements to Congress, Mr. Van Hollen added.Mr. Lutnick defended himself, saying he had \u201cnothing to hide\u201d and insisting he\u2019d had only limited interactions with Mr. Epstein over the years.Mr. Lutnick said he first met Mr. Epstein when they became neighbors in Manhattan in 2005, but that they met only twice more over the next 14 years that he could recall.\u201cI did not have anything you could call a relationship, anything you could call an acquaintance,\u201d Mr. Lutnick said. \u201cI literally met him three times over 14 years.\u201d\u201cI know \u2014 and my wife knows \u2014 that I have done absolutely nothing wrong in any possible regard,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cI have nothing to hide, absolutely nothing.\u201dAt the heart of the questions was a podcast interview from October in which Mr. Lutnick said that he had decided not to associate with Mr. Epstein in 2005, after Mr. Epstein alluded to his sexual encounters with women while giving Mr. Lutnick and his wife a tour of his house.\u201cMy wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again,\u201d Mr. Lutnick said on the podcast, \u201cPod Force One.\u201d \u201cSo I was never in the room with him socially, for business or even philanthropy.\u201dBut on Tuesday, Mr. Lutnick admitted to senators that he not only met with Mr. Epstein after that encounter, but he and his family visited him on his private Caribbean island, Little St. James.Mr. Lutnick confirmed that he and his family traveled to the island in 2012 for a lunch with Mr. Epstein. He portrayed it as a stop-off from a family vacation he was taking aboard his yacht with his wife, children, nannies and another family. The visit took place four years after Mr. Epstein had pleaded guilty in Florida to soliciting prostitution from a minor as part of a plea bargain with federal prosecutors.The files also contain documents showing that Mr. Epstein expressed an interest in 2013 in meeting Mr. Lutnick\u2019s nanny and had her r\u00e9sum\u00e9 sent to him. Mr. Lutnick said Tuesday that he did not know if the nanny had met Mr. Epstein, or if she was one of the nannies Mr. Lutnick had brought to the island, adding he \u201chad no idea what that was about.\u201dDemocrats said the incident raised questions about Mr. Lutnick\u2019s credibility and integrity. The commerce secretary has faced some calls to resign over the issue. Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, said on Sunday that other public figures had stepped down over more limited ties with Mr. Epstein.Michael Rothfeld and Tony Romm contributed reporting.A correction was made on\u00a0Feb. 10, 2026:\u00a0An earlier version of this article misstated when the Justice Department released the latest tranche of documents related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein.
