US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will face closed-door questioning from congressional lawmakers regarding his connections to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, The Guardian reported.

The hearing, led by the House Oversight Committee, is expected to focus on Lutnick’s role and business dealings related to the Epstein case. This marks the first time a senior Trump cabinet official will be formally questioned on Epstein-related documents.

Analysts say the proceedings could have significant implications for Lutnick’s political career and reflect the wide-ranging political fallout from the Epstein case.
