WASHINGTON D.C. — In a bold move that has rattled the corridors of power, Congressman Ro Khanna has officially called for the resignation of Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

The demand comes in the wake of newly surfaced documents and flight logs alleging that Lutnick visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island on multiple occasions—specifically after Epstein’s initial conviction for child sex offenses. Khanna’s rhetoric was particularly sharp, drawing parallels to how other nations handle scandals involving high-ranking figures.

“If in Norway the Princess no longer has the support to be Queen, and if in the UK King Charles is now calling for a criminal investigation into his own brother, then surely in the United States, we must have a standard for our cabinet members,” Khanna stated during a press briefing.

The Congressman argued that the “sanctity of the office” cannot be maintained while such grave questions remain unanswered. The push for Lutnick’s resignation represents a broader effort by some lawmakers to ensure that the Epstein investigation does not “fizzle out” but instead leads to a comprehensive house-cleaning of the American political and economic elite.
