On Friday, Fox Business – which typically extends the benefit of the doubt to allies of President Donald Trump – aired a segment that asked some blunt questions and made some blunt assertions about one White House official’s potential role in a “conspiracy” that has shocked the world over the past week. According to one frequent Fox contributor, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick “has a lot to answer for” if he was involved with schemes to smuggle banned microchips to China.
It sounds like a conspiracy but he’s done exactly that before. He fired a Whitehouse teleprompter tech for trading on information he knew before it was public and then the very next day announced that he would be selling early access to his Truth Social posts before everyone else could read it.
