Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has agreed to testify for the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, after his name appeared repeatedly in the federal government’s tranche of files on the deceased sex offender.

The GOP-led panel is bringing in Lutnick to testify following bipartisan scrutiny of his ties to Epstein, an acquaintanceship Lutnick previously acknowledged but appears to have downplayed.
