Q So, to be clear, you did not reach out, yourself, to tell Mr. Epstein that you were going to be in the U.S. Virgin Islands over Christmas. Is that right? A Yes. Q And -- A Yes, that is correct. I did not in any way contact or have any connection to him. Q And it would be safe to say that the invite surprised you? A I find it unsettling and inexplicable. Q Who else was involved in coordinating this trip to the island? A I have no recollection. So I can't give you more information. I just have no recollection of it. Q During our review of the documents that have been released, it appeared that your wife may have been in contact with Epstein's team. Did she ever say anything to you about the island visit? A Not that I can recall now, no. Mr. Spectre. Do you know if anyone on your staff or anyone else close to you had a connection with Mr. Epstein or his staff? Just trying to understand how he may have been aware of your travels. Secretary Lutnick. Me too. I find it inexplicable and unsettling, and just reading this sort of -- it's bothersome. So, no, I don't know. Mr. Emmer. So you arrive on the island on December 23rd. To the best of your recollection, can you describe the events? What happened when you arrived to the island? Secretary Lutnick. Sure. So it's 14 years ago. So it's not -- I went for lunch with my wife and my four children, my friends -- a couple and their four children -- and staff and boat staff. So it was probably 15, 16 people went for lunch. We sat outside, had lunch. It was boring. We left.
