Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wants to testify about Jeffrey Epstein

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says he is ready to answer questions from Congress about his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Lutnick, who has been reluctant to speak to the House Oversight Committee, now tells the news site Axios that:

I look forward to appearing before the committee. I have done nothing wrong.

Bill and Hillary Clinton were questioned last week by the committee, and demands were made that Lutnick - who has the full support of President Donald Trump - be called. There have also been demands that Lutnick, who has not been charged with a crime, resign.

In February, he said in a Senate hearing that he and his family visited Epstein's island in the Caribbean in 2012, and that he had visited Epstein at his home in 2011.
