US commerce secretary details ‘off-putting’ interaction with Epstein in testimony

Trump’s commerce secretary could not recall his decision-making process behind visiting Epstein’s private island in 2012

The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released the transcript of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s closed-door interview with congressional investigators last week about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

In the interview, Lutnick mentioned meeting Epstein three times, including once while in the U.S. Virgin Islands with Lutnick's family.
