Steven Mnuchins Mysterious Link to Creepy Epstein Model Scout
The treasury secretarys name shows up on official records for a company formed in the 1980s by Jeffrey Epsteins close friend, the model scout Jean-Luc Brunel.
In the late 1980sbefore he was a member of Donald Trumps Cabinet, or even a high-rolling hedge fund managerTreasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin served in an official capacity for a business run by one of Jeffrey Epsteins most infamous associates.
In official records, Mnuchin is listed as the official state point of contact for Next Management Corporation, a company formed in 1988 by modeling-industry insiders Jean-Luc Brunel and Armand Brunel. At the time, Brunel had just been the subject of a 60 Minutes documentary accusing him of drugging and raping at least three models. Later, he would be accused by two women of supplying girls to Epstein to be sexually abused. (Brunel has denied the allegations.)
Records accessed by The Daily Beast list Mnuchin as the New York Department of State process for Next Management Corporation. According to department officials, the DOS process is the person who files a companys registration papers and receives lawsuits and other official documents on their behalfusually a lawyer or some other legal representative.
A Treasury Department official said Mnuchin did not know he was listed as the DOS Process for Next Management Corp. before The Daily Beasts inquiry. He said it was not clear how Mnuchin wound up serving in that role, and added that the Secretary not recall ever meeting either Brunel brother and has never done business with either of them.

One of Epsteins first public accusers, Virginia Roberts (now Giuffre), claimed Epstein forced her to sleep with Brunel and many other powerful men in the years he kept her as his sex slave. She also accused Brunel of using his modeling industry connections to supply Epstein and other wealthy men with foregin girls to abuse.
A former bookkeeper for one of Brunels agencies told the FBI in 2010 that Brunel used the company to bring in teenage models from around the world, and housed them in Epsteins Upper East Side apartments. The bookkeeper claimed the girls were loaned out to wealthy clients for up to $100,000 a night, and were not paid if they refused to be molested.
