U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called testimony about Epstein dishonest

Nervous and dishonest, that's how U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick described testimony about sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Lutnick testified behind closed doors on Wednesday about his connections to Epstein. But what emerged is still secret.

Democrats are not impressed by what they heard.

"The level of lies in that room is unimaginable," says Representative Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, for example.

Republicans are more diplomatic, but admit that Lutnick "wasn't 100 percent honest."

"We'll let the American people decide," says Representative James Comer of Kentucky, hinting that a transcript will be released.

Lutnick has previously said that he and his family visited Epstein's island in the Caribbean in 2012, but has also been caught lying about Epstein.
