Howard Lutnick Under Pressure Amid Epstein Testimony Revelations

House Democrats have called for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's resignation, accusing him of lying about his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. They allege that evidence from the Department of Justice's recent release of Epstein files contradicts Lutnick's claims made in a 2025 interview, particularly regarding a 2012 lunch on Epstein's private island. The letter was signed by 21 Democratic members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. A Commerce Department spokesperson defended Lutnick, asserting his transparency in answering nearly 400 questions during a prior interview.
