Commerce Chief Howard Lutnick deflected questions about Jeffrey Epstein during a Senate budget hearing Tuesday in Washington as senators pressed for answers. Lawmakers raised the topic amid the department's annual budget review, but Lutnick did not provide a substantive response on the record. The brief exchange was not central to the hearing's fiscal questions, and senators proceeded to discuss program funding and priorities.
