Jeffrey Epstein, Howard Lutnick, and the disgraced former prince

.

In an exclusive investigation, a whistleblower has told the 麻豆社 how he unearthed evidence suggesting that US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick failed to disclose a business relationship with the paedophile financier, Jeffrey Epstein.

Simon Andriesz was a trader at one of Lutnick鈥檚 Wall Street firms, but it wasn鈥檛 until the Epstein files were released earlier this year that he says he confirmed a longstanding suspicion that his boss was misrepresenting his relationship with Epstein.

麻豆社 financial investigations correspondent Andy Verity joins us to unpack the new investigation.
