In a shocking turn of events, a parody of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, featuring politicians and businesspeople connected to the infamous sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has turned up near the White House. Dubbed the “Jeffrey Epstein Walk of Shame,” the path includes several high-profile individuals, including Donald Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick.
Howard Lutnik appears on Epstein ‘Walk of Shame’ near White House
The name of billionaire business mogul Howard Lutnik, who once served as the President and Chairman of the renowned financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, appeared on Epstein’s “Walk of Shame” near the White House, as reported by The Daily Beast.
The stars, placed around Farragut Square in Washington, mimic their Los Angeles counterpart with a few moderations. While the Hollywood Walk of Fame plaques include movie, television, or theater symbols to denote the honored celebrity’s domain, its equivalent near the White House instead features the face of Jeffrey Epstein. Moreover, each sticker comes with a unique QR code that, when scanned, redirects the user to Department of Justice documents linking the concerned individual to Epstein.
Lutnik, who was appointed as the 41st United States Secretary of Commerce by Donald Trump in February 2025, had initially mentioned that he had only one encounter with Epstein in 2005 before he decided to distance himself from the disgraced financier. Nevertheless, recently published emails by the DOJ have revealed that the two had remained in contact well after Epstein’s conviction in 2008.
In accordance, Lutnik ultimately confessed to having met with Epstein over lunch in 2012. The meet-up also included his wife, Allison Lambert, the couple’s four children, as well as their caretakers. Additionally, officials have recently uncovered a photo of the government official alongside the late sex offender, taking a stroll on the latter’s island.
At the time of writing, authorities have not charged Donald Trump’s Secretary of Commerce with any wrongdoing in the Epstein case.
