Survivors testify as Lutnick faces resignation calls - Epstein roundup - CNN Erin Burnett Outfront
Survivors and witnesses spoke during a Congressional hearing as part of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation in Palm Beach, Florida. Roza is an Epstein survivor who was a "Jane Doe" until Justice Department files related to Epstein were released and revealed her full name. She said she was abused by Epstein over a three-year period while the sexual offender was under house arrest for state prostitution charges over his involvement with underage girls.
Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick downplayed three in-person encounters he said he had with Jeffrey Epstein over the years, telling the House Oversight Committee in a closed-door interview last week that his interactions with the convicted late sex offender were “virtually nonexistent,” according to a transcript. - Aired on 05/15/2026.
