Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's family stands to profit significantly from the Supreme Court's decision striking down President Donald Trump's tariffs. Lutnick, who led Cantor Fitzgerald for 30 years before handing control to his sons before joining the Trump administration, publicly championed the tariffs.

Others described it as "pure criminality and graft," noting Lutnick was also tasked with implementing the tariffs.
