Jennings joined The Arena on Wednesday to discuss Attorney General Pam Bondi’s bombshell hearing in Congress on Wednesday and her department’s continued release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The DOJ’s latest release of over 3 million pages of Epstein documents appeared to contradict previous statements made by President Donald Trump’s commerce head, Lutnick, who claimed to have cut ties with Epstein in 2005. The Senate Committee on Appropriations held a hearing on Tuesday where Secretary Lutnick was grilled about his mischaracterization of his ties to Epstein, which documents showed continued past 2005 and included a visit to Epstein’s private island.
Hunt played a clip from the hearing where Lutnick admitted to the visit before heatedly pressing Scott Jennings on his defense of commerce secretary, alongside New York Times journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro.
