Is Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick getting much shit for lying about his Epstein friendship?

Politicians in other countries are suffering for covering up their closeness to Epstein. Lutnick has been revealed as lying about breaking off contact with Epstein in 2005:

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who has previously said he avoided being in the same room as Jeffrey Epstein, had planned a visit to Epstein’s private island, according to documents released by the Justice Department on Friday. The planned trip, dated 2012, was scheduled years after Lutnick claimed he had cut off all ties with Epstein.

Records show that in December 2012, Lutnick emailed Epstein saying he was traveling to the Caribbean with a group that included his wife, children, and another family. He asked where Epstein was staying and whether they could stop by for a meal, the New York Times reported.

Epstein replied through an assistant with details about the location of Little St. James, his private island off St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, and the two sides eventually agreed on plans for a lunch meeting.

In recent years, prominent figures linked to Epstein have faced scrutiny over visits to Little St. James, but Lutnick’s planned trip had not been previously reported. Contacted by phone on Friday, Lutnick said he could not comment on the proposed visit as he had not reviewed the newly released Epstein documents.

But I'm not seeing (on DU, or finding in Google News searches) anything in the MSM saying "Lutnick has questions to answer" or "Lutnick might have to resign", let alone "Lutnick lied about his close friendship with pedophile Epstein, after his conviction". "It's OK To Pal Around with Pedophiles If You're A Cabinet Member" seems to be the media's typical reaction. Is anyone pushing on this? eg Democrats in Congress saying "if we're subpoenaing the Clintons, we must subpoena Lutnick too"?
