Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will testify before the House Oversight Committee about his association with the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“I look forward to appearing before the committee,” Lutnick first told Axios. “I have done nothing wrong and I want to set the record straight.”
Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) also said in a statement Tuesday that the Cabinet official had “proactively agreed” to do so — after Democrats on the panel pushed for Lutnick’s to be subpoenaed for questioning.
“I commend his demonstrated commitment to transparency and appreciate his willingness to engage with the Committee. I look forward to his testimony,” Comer added.
