Then said they left the island with all the kids.
Odd way of putting it.

What about the nannies?
On edit, someone below had the whole quote. It still just sounds -wrong.

First time around that nothing he says matters.
He should resign.
These effers are shameless

That "nannies" part was weird. I know people have them, but he described it as a family vacation.

“I did have lunch with him, as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies,” Lutnick told a congressional committee Tuesday. “We had lunch on the island, that is true, for an hour, and we left with all of my children with my nannies and my wife… I don’t recall why we did it.”

But Lutnick denied that he and Epstein, who met when they lived in neighboring houses in New York, had deeper ties.

“Of these millions and millions of documents, there may be 10 emails connecting me with him… over a 14 year period,” Lutnick told senators. “I did not have any relationship with him. I barely had anything to do with that person.”

Of going to a private island and claims he doesn’t remember why. Most likely some type of illegal financial dealing.

Movers and shakers don’t don’t drag their families along to lunch with each other.

Howard "The Liar" Lutnick. He found Epstein to be soooooo gross that he just had to take his whole family to dine with that man. Makes sense to me...

He was just driving by and said to his family and multiple nannies, "hey, well looky here, it's our next door neighbor's island, you know, the convicted pedophile, let stop here with the kids and have lunch and then immediately leave so it doesn't look weird.
So they left. Him, the wife, the kids and their only one nanny they've ever had.
