Epstein files: Howard Lutnick volunteers to testify to House committee
Howard Lutnick agreed to a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee to clarify his ties to Jeffrey Epstein amid growing scrutiny.
- U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee, Axios and Reuters reported on Tuesday.
- Justice Department Epstein files naming Lutnick triggered pressure, with Senate Democrats sending a records letter and House Democrats raising questions during recent testimony.
- On last month, Lutnick told the Senate Appropriations Committee he visited Epstein's island with his family, but DOJ records show meetings in 2011 and 2012 that contrast with his denials.
- Lutnick called Oversight Chair James Comer to volunteer, and White House spokesman Kush Desai praised his willingness to engage, with officials welcoming his cooperation.
- The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will conduct a closed-door interview in the coming weeks, with a transcript reviewed by Lutnick's attorney, who states Lutnick has done nothing wrong.
