Melinda French Gates expressed 'unbelievable sadness' over unverified allegations in DOJ-released Epstein files and said Bill Gates must answer outstanding questions, highlighting societal reckoning.

  • Social posts that circulated this week show clips of Melinda French Gates’ interviews going viral, while Representative Ro Khanna, Democrat of California, questions why only about 3.5 million pages were released.
