In a policy discussion with Breitbart on Thursday, Howard Lutnick, exposed in the Epstein Files, revealed he had no understanding of tariffs before joining the Trump administration, stating "if you thought I knew the first thing about tariffs before I worked for him, that would be false."
Lutnick's admission raises questions about the qualifications of Trump officials, with many criticizing the administration's handling of trade policy, leaving American families struggling to buy food, pay bills, and make rent.
As reported by Crooks and Liars, Lutnick's disappearance from cable news airwaves since the Epstein revelations surfaced has been notable, except for his appearance on Breitbart, where he made the startling confession about his lack of knowledge on tariffs.
