May 6 (UPI) -- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is scheduled to testify Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The testimony is voluntary and behind closed doors. Lutnick is one of many people called before the committee to explain their ties to the late sex offender and financier.
"The Secretary looks forward to addressing any questions on the record when he testifies voluntarily before the Oversight Committee," a spokesperson for the Commerce Department told CBS News. "He looks forward to putting to rest the inaccurate and baseless claims in the media designed to distract from his historic work underway at the Commerce Department."
Lutnick has not been accused of any wrongdoing tied to Epstein.
