Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testified before the House Oversight Committee that his three encounters with his former neighbor Jeffrey Epstein were “meaningless and inconsequential,” describing a first meeting in 2005 when Epstein’s staff invited him and his wife for coffee next door, a brief family lunch on Epstein’s private island in December 2012 attended by about fifteen people, and a single, unremarkable meeting with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell at a Rockefeller Institute fundraiser; he said he never saw any young women or girls on the island, did not witness any illegal conduct, and denied any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse, while refusing to discuss any conversations he may have had with President Trump about Epstein, emphasizing that after the initial encounter he and his wife decided not to pursue any personal or professional relationship with the convicted sex offender.

ABC News: Top Stories | New date set for Bondi deposition in House Oversight's Epstein probe

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A new deposition date has been set for former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein after Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s lead Democrat, introduced a resolution to hold Bondi in civil contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Garcia announced the contempt filing on the House floor, noting that action was finally required to compel Republican cooperation. The committee confirmed that Bondi will appear on May 29, after earlier expectations for a closed‑door testimony on April 14 were nullified when the Justice Department said the subpoena no longer applied following her removal from office by President Trump. If the civil contempt effort succeeds, a federal judge could order Bondi to testify, elevating the dispute to the courts. The deposition is part of the broader, bipartisan‑criticized probe into the handling of Epstein‑related documents and the Justice Department’s implementation of the Epstein Transparency Act.

World & Nation | House Oversight chair says some members support a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon by Ben Wieder, Ana Ceballos, Justine McDaniel

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Rep. James Comer, the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee, disclosed that many members of the panel are considering a Trump‑presidential pardon for convicted sex‑trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for her cooperation in the committee’s investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, even though Comer himself opposes the idea. The committee is split: top Democratic member Rep. Robert Garcia and several Republicans, including Anna Paulina Luna and Clay Higgins, publicly reject any pardon, calling Maxwell a sexual abuser who belongs behind bars. Maxwell, serving a 20‑year sentence for recruiting and grooming minors for Epstein, declined to answer questions in a February deposition but her attorney said she would offer “the unfiltered truth” if clemency were granted. Victims’ lawyers and legal experts also denounced the notion, arguing Maxwell is a self‑serving liar who cannot provide credible information. While President Trump has not ruled out a pardon, he has so far declined to commit either way.
