Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is scheduled to testify on Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. His closed-door deposition follows months of inquiries involving various prominent individuals linked to Epstein. Recent revelations from over 3 million pages of documents, known as the Epstein files, indicate that Lutnick and Epstein were business partners in a now-defunct advertising company called Adfin as recently as 2014. The files also reveal that Lutnick, along with his wife and children, visited Epstein's private Caribbean island, Little St. James, in 2012. Lutnick had previously stated he cut ties with Epstein in 2005, but emails exchanged between them continued until 2018. During prior testimony, Lutnick described his visit to Epstein's island as a family vacation, asserting there was nothing inappropriate about it. His testimony comes shortly after former Attorney General Pam Bondi agreed to testify later this month, following a series of high-profile testimonies from figures such as Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and billionaire Les Wexner.
