Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., called on both President Donald Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify about their relationships with Jeffery Epstein, telling NBC News Meet the Press on Sunday that said hes working with a Republican colleague to subpoena Lutnick.
Khanna, a member of the House Oversight Committee, referenced former President Bill Clintons testimony before the committee last week, saying Clinton set a precedent for high-profile figures to testify.
A new Clinton rule that means that Donald Trump should do the same answer the questions. Howard Lutnick should do the same, Khanna told Meet the Press. Im working with a Republican actually to subpoena Howard Lutnick next week, and I believe he will come before the committee.
Khanna did not name the GOP lawmaker he is working with, but on Friday, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., also a member of the House Oversight Committee, said she supported asking Lutnick to testify.
