House Oversight Committee releases transcript of Commerce Secretary Lutnick's closed-door testimony about his contacts with Jeffrey Epstein
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testified before the House Oversight Committee in a May 6 closed-door deposition regarding his interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Lutnick characterized three documented in-person encounters (2005, 2011, and 2012) as "meaningless and inconsequential," contradicting his earlier public statements that he had severed ties with Epstein in 2005. The testimony transcript was released publicly by the committee on May 8, following Justice Department disclosures of emails and meeting records between the two men.
