Rep Balint asks AG Bondi about ties to Epstein Feb 11, 2026 other senior Trump officials, Howard Lutnik, Secretary of Commerce, John Phelan, the Secretary of the Navy, and Stephen Feinberg, the Deputy Secretary of Defense. These men were appointed by President Trump to senior positions in his administration. All of them have clear and confirmed ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Attorney General Bondi, yes or no, has the Justice Department asked Secretary Lutnik about his ties to Epstein? Excuse me. Secretary Lutnik has addressed those ties himself. I'm asking you, has the Justice Department specifically asked Secretary Lutnik about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein? He has addressed those ties himself. Has the DOJ asked Secretary Phelan about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein? I don't know whether he has addressed those or not. Has the Deputy Secretary Feinberg talked to Department of Justice about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein? Yes or no? Has the Department of Justice talked to Secretary Deputy Secretary Feinberg about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, which are clearly spelled out in the files? It's a very simple question. It's not a trick question. I'm just asking you. I'm stunned that you want to continue talking about. I'm asking you not a trick question, a simple question. So what is clear is we have evidence that three senior officials within the Trump administration have ties to Jeffrey Epstein. I can conclude from why you are saying that you have not talked to them.
