Comer asks Bill Gates, others for transcribed interviews on Epstein
The committee seeks testimony to probe alleged federal investigation mismanagement, influence by Epstein and Maxwell, and possible ethics violations involving seven key figures.
- On Tuesday, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer asked seven people, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, to testify, saying they "have information" relevant to the Epstein inquiry.
- The DOJ's February 2026 release of files included two emails from July 18, 2013, alleging unverified claims that Gates had sex with Russian girls and a sexually transmitted infection.
- At a Gates Foundation town hall last week, Bill Gates apologized, saying he 'did have affairs,' and admitted traveling with Epstein on a private plane to Germany, France, New York, and Washington.
- In 2019, Microsoft investigated a complaint that Bill Gates sought a relationship with a company employee, with a committee of the Microsoft board and an outside law firm reviewing it; Gates stepped down a year later, unrelated to the matter.
- Amid the releases, records reveal that Kathryn Ruemmler appears multiple times and announced her resignation last month, while Senate Finance Committee documents show that Leon Black paid Epstein $158 million.
