MAGA FOX 🇺🇸@real_MAGAFOXOct 29, 2026As of 2026-10-29, multiple sources describe Howard Lutnick as the sitting Commerce Secretary, including tier1 reporting from September and October 2026 and an October 27 report.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes. And then her testimony should be permanently entered into the Congressional Record. Then, and only then, we will have the truth. Thank you. For Secretary Lutnick to continue serving.
What we found
Supports. A PolitiFact fact-check dated September 2, 2026 refers to 'Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick' as a current officeholder who was confirmed by the Senate.[1]
Supports. An AP article describes Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as the most frequent Cabinet member aboard Air Force One, treating him as a current Cabinet official.[2]
Supports. Reporting from October 18, October 21, and October 27, 2026 identifies Lutnick as the sitting Secretary of Commerce, active in ongoing tariff talks with Mexico and Canada.[3][4][5]
Context. An undated Daily Star report says Lutnick was among cabinet members potentially at risk of removal, but it also reports the White House expressing 'total confidence' in him and does not say he had left office.[6]
Context. The claim was extracted from a passage calling for Lutnick 'to continue serving'; the extracted present-tense wording is a faithful statement of the implied status quo.
