President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick sat down with the New York Post’s Miranda Devine for the latest episode of her Pod Force One podcast, out Wednesday. The hour-long conversation covered a wide range of topics, including Jeffrey Epstein – who was once Lutnick’s neighbor.

Lutnick told Devine that Epstein was “gross” and added that after he and his wife left Epstein’s home on the “six to eight steps it takes to get from his house to my house, my wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again.”

Devine then asked Lutnick how rich and powerful people around Epstein “could hang around him and not see what you saw, or did they see it and ignore it?”

Lutnick shot back, “They participated.” “That’s what his MO was, you know, get a massage, get a massage. And what happened in that massage room, I assume was on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever,” Lutnick added, claiming, “Blackmail people. That’s how he had money.”
