Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is among several Trump Administration officials in New York on Thursday to remember those killed on 9/11 on the 24th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. In 2001, Lutnick was the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, the investment bank that was housed in the upper floors of the World Trade Center’s North Tower. Nearly 700 of Lutnick’s employees died on 9/11, including Lutnick’s own brother.

Here & Now‘s Sarah McCammon speaks with Natalie Andrews, a White House correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, about how 9/11 families see Lutnick as their last chance for justice.
