So Lutnick IS GONNA TESTIFY......

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has agreed to appear voluntarily before the House Oversight Committee about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, setting up a clash between congressional Republicans and the Trump administration, which has tried to downplay Lutnick’s ties to the late convicted sex offender.

“Secretary Lutnick has proactively agreed to appear voluntarily,” House Oversight Chair James Comer said in a statement. “I commend his demonstrated commitment to transparency and appreciate his willingness to engage with the Committee. I look forward to his testimony.”

A date has not yet been set for Lutnick’s appearance but is expected to be announced soon, a source familiar with the process told CNN.

If the Republican-led committee had not taken action, GOP Rep. Nancy Mace was planning to unilaterally force a vote to subpoena Lutnick at the panel’s hearing on Wednesday, a source close to the process told CNN, suggesting there was bipartisan interest in having Lutnick testify before the panel about his interactions with Epstein.

The GOP and those that support what Israel is now doing in the Middle East have zero interest in the TRUTH.

Everytime he opens his mouth, it puts Epstein and InEpTstein(tsf) back in the headlines. Nutlick's volunteering notwithstanding.
