00:00My concern is that overwhelmingly the supply of things like software.
00:04Secretary Lutnick, as I said in my opening statement, you led people to believe that you had cut off all contact with Jeffrey Epstein after the 2005 encounter you and your wife had in his apartment.
00:23But as I'm sure you know, the Epstein files show a very different record of interaction.
00:31Why did the Epstein files show you coordinating a meeting and planning a visit with Jeffrey Epstein on his private island in December 2012?
00:43Thank you for the question.
00:45I'm glad to be here to make it clear that I met Jeffrey Epstein when he moved, when I moved to a house next door to him in New York.
00:56Right. And I met him then over the next 14 years.
01:00I met him two other times that I can recall two times.
01:05And that is none for six years.
01:08So six years later, I met him.
01:10And then a year and a half after that, I met him and never again.
01:14Probably the total and you've seen all of these documents of these millions and millions of documents.
01:21There may be 10 emails connecting me with him, probably about 10 emails connecting me with him over a 14 year period.
01:31I did not have any relationship with him.
01:36I barely had anything to do with that person.
01:41OK.
01:42Did you, in fact, make the visit to Jeffrey Epstein's private island?
01:48I did have lunch with him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation.
01:55My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies.
02:00I had another couple with they were there as well with their children.
02:06And we had lunch on the island.
02:09That is true for an hour.
02:10And we left with all of my children, with my nannies and my wife, all together.
02:16We were on family vacation.
02:18We were not apart.
02:19To suggest there was anything untoward about that in 2012, I don't recall why we did it.
02:26But we did.
02:27Mr. Secretary, again, as I said, there's not an indication that you yourself engaged in any wrongdoing with Jeffrey Epstein.
02:36It's the fact that you believe that you misled the country and the Congress based on your earlier statements.
02:43I looked through the millions of documents for my name, just like everybody else.
02:50And what I found was there was a document that says that I had a meeting with him on in May, I think, for an hour for at five o'clock.
03:04Not dinner or otherwise for an hour at five o'clock.
03:08All right.
03:08There's also a reference to the fact that Epstein had expressed an interest in meeting your nanny.
03:15Do you know whether Jeffrey Epstein ever met with your nanny?
03:21No, I saw that.
03:22I had no idea what that was about.
03:24We are finding in Oregon that places where we're trying to...
03:28You said casually, well, I looked at my name and how it appeared in them, as does everyone.
03:33No, everyone isn't worried about their names being in the Epstein files.
03:37I know he was your neighbor.
03:39That was a coincidence.
03:40But please disclose everything that's relevant here so that we have a chance to work together and move on.
03:46...strategies are adjusting, but still a variety of strategies are...
03:50...
03:51...
