............The cover letter to the former president calls for him to sit for a deposition on Oct. 14 to answer questions about his relationship with Epstein.

"By your own admission, you flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane four separate times in 2002 and 2003," Comer wrote.

"You were also allegedly close to Ms. Ghislane Maxwell, an Epstein co-conspirator, and attended an intimate dinner with her in 2014, three years after public reports about her involvement in Mr. Epstein’s abuse of minors," the letter said, misspelling the first name of Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in helping Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls.

The Comer letter also says "there are conflicting reports about whether you ever visited Mr. Epstein’s island." Clinton has denied ever going to Epstein's private island, where some of the abuse is alleged to have occurred. President Donald Trump, who also once had a friendly relationship with Epstein and Maxwell, alleged Clinton had gone to the island "28 times" but provided no proof of the claim.
