Bill Gates Set To Appear Before The Epstein Congressional Oversight Committee (6/10/26)

Bill Gates is set to sit for a closed-door interview with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on June 10 as part of the committee’s continuing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the federal government’s handling of the case, and the powerful people who moved through Epstein’s orbit. Gates was asked to appear after recently released Justice Department records included photos, emails, and other material tying him to Epstein between roughly 2011 and 2014, years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Gates has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing, and he has repeatedly said his relationship with Epstein was a serious mistake, explaining that he met with him in hopes of attracting money for global health and philanthropic work. The Gates Foundation has said there were discussions involving Epstein, but no funding ever came from him.The interview is expected to focus on why Gates continued meeting with Epstein despite Epstein’s known criminal history, what Epstein was seeking from Gates and the Gates Foundation, and whether Epstein tried to leverage access to Gates for money, influence, credibility, or protection. Gates’ association with Epstein has already had personal and reputational consequences, including renewed scrutiny after Melinda French Gates said Epstein was one of the issues that contributed to the breakdown of their marriage. The broader point is that Congress is now pulling Gates into the same unresolved web that has surrounded Epstein for years: how a convicted sex offender continued attracting billionaires, politicians, financiers, academics, and institutional players long after everyone knew who he was.to contact me:[email protected]:Bill Gates questioned about Jeffrey Epstein by House Oversight
