Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has been cornered over the firing of three women from Donald Trump’s Cabinet while being let off the hook for his ties to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

During a tense hearing on Capitol Hill, the Trump mega-donor was taken to task for his links to Epstein and Trump’s refusal to hold him accountable.
