"That's very possible, and I think it's a good possibility that his name will arise in some questioning today... And I want to remind everyone, we've already brought in Alex Acosta and Bill Barr for depositions. That's two Republicans in the Trump administration, so this isn't just about Democrats. This is about anyone that has any knowledge of Epstein, the investigation."
"I think we all agree the government failed, the government failed the victims, and what our role is we can't prosecute anyone, but what we have been doing is getting transparency to the American people. We subpoenaed the estate... what you're seeing is there is accountability finally happening."
"You've seen at least a dozen very powerful people, men and women, who have already resigned, many in disgrace, from their board positions. So we're seeing accountability, but we have a desire to see a lot more accountability. We want to get the answers and hopefully the next two days will be a step in the right direction."
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer stated that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick could potentially be required to testify about his relationship with deceased serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Comer defended the committee's investigation as bipartisan, noting that depositions of Hillary Clinton, Alex Acosta, and Bill Barr demonstrate the inquiry is not partisan. He emphasized the committee's role in providing transparency to the American people rather than prosecuting individuals. Comer highlighted that the investigation has resulted in accountability, with over a dozen powerful individuals resigning from board positions. The committee subpoenaed Epstein's estate documents at victims' request. Lutnick previously claimed he ended his Epstein relationship in 2005, but later revealed during a Senate hearing that his connection was more extensive than initially disclosed.
