Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick planned a visit to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in 2012, according to documents released by the Department of Justice on Friday. The planned visit would have come years after Epstein plead guilty to two prostitution-related charges in 2008, including with a minor.
In December 2012, Lutnick emailed a redacted email address saying he would be in the Caribbean with a large group, including family and friends, according to the documents reviewed by ABC News. Lutnick asked, "Does Sunday evening for dinner sound good?"
Epstein’s assistant, Lesley Groff, responded one day later saying, "below from Jeffrey: come sat or sunday lunch? little st James on the map, behind Christmas cove."
Lutnick soon responded, "Ok, lunch on Sunday. See you then."
More email communications released in Friday’s files show Lutnick’s wife, Allison, coordinating further with Epstein’s assistant for the visit.
