House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed on Thursday that it was very possible U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick could be made to testify over his relationship with the late serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
After Comer argued during a press conference that the deposition of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the result of a bipartisan motion, and had nothing to do with a partisan witch hunt, a reporter asked, In the spirit of bipartisanship, would you then ask Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to come testify? It seems like he has some information.
Thats very possible, and I think its a good possibility that his name will arise in some questioning today, replied Comer, who continued:
And I want to remind everyone, weve already brought in Alex Acosta and Bill Barr for depositions. Thats two Republicans in the Trump administration, so this isnt just about Democrats. This is about anyone that has any knowledge of Epstein, the investigation. I think we all agree the government failed, the government failed the victims, and what our role is we cant prosecute anyone, but what we have been doing is getting transparency to the American people. We subpoenaed the estate. That has nothing to do with the discharge petition. We subpoenaed the documents for the estate, thats what the victims asked us to do, and what youre seeing is there is accountability finally happening.
