The commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, acknowledged at a Senate hearing that he and his family visited Jeffrey Epstein on his private island.

But on Tuesday, Mr. Lutnick admitted to senators that he not only met with Mr. Epstein after that encounter, but he and his family visited him on his private Caribbean island, Little St. James.

Mr. Lutnick confirmed that he and his family traveled to the island in 2012 for a lunch with Mr. Epstein. He portrayed it as a stop-off from a family vacation he was taking aboard his yacht with his wife, children, nannies and another family. The visit took place four years after Mr. Epstein had pleaded guilty in Florida to soliciting prostitution from a minor as part of a plea bargain with federal prosecutors.
The files also contain documents showing that Mr. Epstein expressed an interest in 2013 in meeting Mr. Lutnick’s nanny and had her résumé sent to him. Mr. Lutnick said Tuesday that he did not know if the nanny had met Mr. Epstein, or if she was one of the nannies Mr. Lutnick had brought to the island, adding he “had no idea what that was about.”

Democrats said the incident raised questions about Mr. Lutnick’s credibility and integrity. The commerce secretary has faced some calls to resign over the issue. Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, said on Sunday that other public figures had stepped down over more limited ties with Mr. Epstein.[/quote]
