Comer says Lutnick wasn’t ‘100% truthful’ about Epstein ties before testimony

Published Updated



House oversight committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s hearing that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had not been “100% truthful” about visiting convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein‘s island.

“I haven’t seen wrongdoing in the email correspondence, but he wasn’t 100% truthful with whether or not he had been on the island,” Comer said. “So we’ll see. And we’ll obviously release the transcripts and everyone can see for themselves.”
