Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick may be called to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about his ties to deceased sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.
Rep. Nancy Mace on Friday said that Lutnick should testify after a picture of him with Epstein emerged in the Department of Justice database one day after Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told reporters it is "very possible" the commerce secretary would be questioned.
Comer's comments came at a press conference before the committee's hearing with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with Mace adding that calling Lutnick before the committee would "be on my list."
"Howard Lutnick should take questions from the Oversight committee," Mace said in a post on X, while a photograph that appears to be Lutnick standing behind Epstein, along with Lutnick's friend Michael Lehrman and two other unidentified men.
