Lutnick isn't quitting because there is little pressure from fellow Republicans to quit then there are on Democrats from fellow Democrats. Republicans have no shame from not caring about fellow Republicans being tied up in the Trump-Epstein scandal.

Meanwhile, outside the US:

• Peter Mandelson – Sacked as UK Ambassador to the U.S. following renewed scrutiny over Epstein ties; later resigned from the House of Lords and from the Labour Party amid political fallout.

• Jean-Luc Brunel – Arrested in France (2020) on rape and trafficking-related charges linked to Epstein; died in custody in 2022 awaiting trial.
• Jack Lang – Faced investigation and public scrutiny over contacts; stepped back from some institutional roles amid controversy (no conviction reported).

⸻

🇳🇴 Norway

• Mona Juul – Faced official scrutiny in Norway related to indirect connections through her husband; no criminal conviction reported.
