Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testifies before House Oversight Committee about Jeffrey Epstein ties
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testified for nearly four hours in a closed-door, transcribed interview before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Documents released by the DOJ showed Lutnick visited Epstein's private island in 2012, years after he claimed to have cut ties with Epstein in 2005. Committee Chairman James Comer said Lutnick was not '100% truthful,' while Democrats called for his resignation and Republicans characterized him as forthcoming.
