DEEP STATE STRIKES: White House Defends Commerce Secretary as Epstein Files Create NEW Crisis

The Trump administration is pushing back hard against a coordinated attack on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick following the convenient release of Jeffrey Epstein documents that show planned visits to the convicted predator's island over a decade ago.

President Trump's White House is refusing to bow to bipartisan pressure demanding Lutnick's resignation, recognizing this latest document dump for what it really is – another deep state operation designed to kneecap the America First agenda just weeks into Trump's second term.

The Justice Department's timing couldn't be more suspicious. Why now? Why wait until Lutnick is implementing critical trade reforms and dismantling Biden's disastrous economic policies? Patriots across America are asking the same question: is this really about decades-old documents, or is this about stopping Trump's commerce secretary from delivering on his promise to rebuild American manufacturing?

Same Playbook, Different Target

We've seen this movie before, folks. The establishment's playbook never changes – wait until a Trump ally gains momentum, then suddenly "discover" damaging information that's been sitting in government files for years. It's the same tactic they used against General Flynn, against Justice Kavanaugh, and countless other patriots who dared to challenge the swamp.

Lutnick has been one of Trump's most effective cabinet members, aggressively pursuing tariff policies that put American workers first and dismantling the regulatory nightmare that strangled our economy under Biden. His success threatens every globalist corporation that got rich shipping American jobs overseas.

"The timing of these releases always seems to coincide with major policy victories," one senior administration official told reporters. "Howard Lutnick is delivering results for the American people, and certain interests don't like that."

Trump's Loyalty Test

This manufactured crisis presents President Trump with another opportunity to show he won't abandon his team when the swamp creatures circle. Standing by Lutnick sends a clear message: this administration won't be intimidated by selective leaks and political hit jobs.

The real question Americans should be asking isn't about decade-old calendar entries – it's why the same government agencies that buried Hunter Biden's laptop for years suddenly become so concerned about "transparency" when it threatens Trump's agenda. Will patriots let another orchestrated takedown succeed, or will we finally see through the deep state's tired playbook?

I'm curious about the timeline here - when exactly were these Epstein connections first documented and why are they surfacing now? Seems awfully convenient timing if you ask me.

The deep state has been working overtime to take down anyone associated with Trump's vision for America. This Commerce Secretary witch hunt is just another desperate attempt to distract from Biden's failing economy.

Exactly! They can't run on their record so they have to manufacture scandals.
