House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair Rep. James Comer says Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick previously was not “100 percent truthful” about whether he had been on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island. Comer made the remark to reporters as Lutnick enters a closed-door interview with the Oversight panel. Multiple outlets report that Comer’s comment centers on Lutnick’s statements regarding any visit to Epstein’s island, where Epstein, a convicted sex offender, carried out abuse and exploitation. Lutnick is scheduled to appear before the committee for the interview/testimony, which is reported to be closed to the public. The accounts describe Comer’s characterization of Lutnick’s past statements rather than providing additional details about what Lutnick previously said or what evidence the committee is relying on. The Oversight Committee interview proceeds as part of the panel’s broader oversight activities, and no final findings are described in the reports.
