Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will voluntarily testify in the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. That’s according to the committee’s chairman, though no date has been set.

Lutnick told Axios, "I look forward to appearing before the committee. I have done nothing wrong, and I want to set the record straight."

He used to be Epstein’s neighbor in Manhattan and has admitted to visiting Epstein’s private island back in 2012. Lutnick has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
