Bill Gates to Testify in Congressional Panel's Jeffrey Epstein Investigation
The committee will question Gates about newly released Justice Department files and his foundation’s ties to Epstein, as lawmakers probe whether advisers had improper contact.
- On Wednesday, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates appeared before the House Oversight Committee for a closed-door transcribed interview regarding his relationship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
- Documents released by the Justice Department prompted the committee's request after revealing multiple meetings between Gates and Epstein, plus frequent contact between Epstein and Gates' closest advisers until 2019.
- Gates hired former House Oversight Committee counsel Jake Greenberg to prepare for the deposition, a move ethics experts said raised questions about "optics" but did not violate rules.
- Democrats intend to question what Gates knew of Epstein's crimes and the full nature of their relationship, while Gates has previously apologized for the association, calling it a "huge mistake."
- The probe into Epstein's network also included questioning former assistant Lesley Groff on Tuesday as lawmakers continue scrutinizing the late offender's web of wealthy and powerful associates.
