GOP weighs subpoena for Lutnick in Epstein probe as Clinton deposition unfolds

House Oversight Chair James Comer says a subpoena for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation is “very possible” as Hillary Clinton’s deposition proceeds; newly released DOJ materials show Lutnick and Epstein continued ties after 2005, including a 2012 lunch on Epstein’s private island, though Lutnick is not accused of crimes. The panel is also pressing Clinton’s testimony and broader disclosures in the Epstein matter, with Democrats stressing the inquiry should remain focused on facts rather than partisan theater.
