Republican Committee Chair James Comer told reporters they plan to depose others who had relationships with Epstein, but he did not disclose who.
Yeah, there definitely is.

Hillary Clinton and the committee did say that they want the video and the transcript shared as soon as possible, though.
Until then, we only have what they told us.
So I'll start with what Clinton had to say.
Afterwards, speaking to the press, she reiterated that the hearing should have been open from the get-go.
But Clinton said she wouldn't do this again, even if it was public.
She described the line of questioning as repetitive.
By the end of the deposition, Clinton said the committee members started asking off-topic questions about UFOs and the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which falsely claimed some high-profile Democrats were involved in a child sex trafficking ring.
Well, the agreed upon rules said no photos.
But at one point, soon after it started, the committee paused the deposition.
That's because a conservative commentator, Benny Johnson, posted a photo on social media of Clinton inside the room where the hearing was taking place.
sent by Republican committee member Lauren Boebert.
The hearing resumed shortly after, but Clinton did say it was very upsetting that one of the members violated the rules.
Reporters later asked Boebert why she sent the photo.
She answered, why not?
So we only heard from Republicans after the hearing.
While committee chair, Republican James Comer of Kentucky, said it was a productive hearing, he did have some gripes.
