S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says he is ready to answer questions in Congress about his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to reports, Lutnick, who has been reluctant to speak with the House Oversight Committee, now says he looks forward to appearing before the committee and that he has done nothing wrong.

The Clintons were questioned by the committee last week, and demands were reportedly raised then for Lutnick, who has President Donald Trump's full support, to be called. Demands have also reportedly come for Lutnick, who has not been accused of a crime, to resign. In February, he said in a Senate hearing that he and his family visited Epstein's island in the Caribbean in 2012 and that he visited Epstein at his home in 2011.

I look forward to appearing before the committee and that I have done nothing wrong.
