Overview
- Lutnick will appear voluntarily for a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee in the coming weeks, with no date yet announced.
- The committee plans to release a transcript after legal review, following its standard practice for closed-door sessions.
- Justice Department files and photos document a 2011 meeting and a 2012 lunch on Epstein’s island, contradicting Lutnick’s earlier claim that he cut off contact in 2005.
- Lutnick says he has done nothing wrong and wants to set the record straight, and he has not been accused of any crime.
- Pressure for records and testimony has mounted from both parties as the White House defends Lutnick, with some lawmakers preparing or threatening subpoenas.
