Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will face Congress Wednesday over alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, with documents showing he visited Epstein’s private island in 2012, contradicting his claims of cutting contact post-2005. The House Oversight Committee will question him about these connections, including a disputed encounter with Epstein’s nanny whose résumé Epstein requested in 2013. Lutnick, who lived near Epstein for over a decade, previously denied socializing with him but traveled to his Caribbean island with his family in 2012, per Justice Department records. The investigation highlights ongoing scrutiny of Trump-era officials linked to Epstein’s sex-trafficking case, which ended with Epstein’s 2008 conviction and 2019 death.
