House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer told reporters Thursday that it’s “very possible” his panel will compel Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to give evidence over his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell as part of the committee’s long-running probe into the infamous criminals.
Speaking in Chappaqua, New York as he prepared to lead a deposition of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as part of the same probe, Comer was asked if the panel would consider a subpoena for Lutnick, a longtime friend of President Donald Trump who had unsuccessfully pushed to become Treasury Secretary after serving as the finance chief for he 2024 campaign.
