Rep. Ro Khanna says President Trump would have fired Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick if he had reviewed Lutnick’s testimony to Congress about Jeffrey Epstein. The comments come after Lutnick testified Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee regarding the Epstein investigation, including his own relationship to the convicted sex offender. According to Khanna, the president would take action if he saw the transcript of Lutnick’s testimony. CBS News reports that Khanna described the testimony as “embarrassing.” The Hill also reports that Khanna made the claim directly after a closed-door briefing, saying “If Donald Trump had seen the video transcript, he would have fired Howard Lutnick.” Both outlets frame Khanna’s remarks as criticism of Lutnick’s statements, delivered following his testimony to the House Oversight Committee. Neither source indicates that Trump has responded publicly to the claim. The underlying congressional proceeding remains Lutnick’s testimony related to the Epstein investigation.
