Bill Gates Agrees to June 10 Interview in House Epstein Probe
Bill Gates will sit for a transcribed interview before the House Oversight Committee on June 10 as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, according to a source familiar with the plans. Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R‑Ky., formally invited Gates in a March 3 letter citing DOJ documents, public reporting and committee‑obtained records that he says show Gates has information relevant to the inquiry into Epstein’s network and activities. The article details how Epstein emailed himself unverified, lurid allegations about Gates’ sex life—claims a Gates spokesperson calls "absolutely absurd and completely false"—and recounts reporting that Gates has admitted to affairs with two Russian women while denying Epstein’s specific accusations. The story also traces Epstein’s unsuccessful effort to draw Gates into a donor‑advised fund he wanted to operate and notes that Gates joins a roster of high‑profile figures, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Les Wexner and Ghislaine Maxwell, who have already given testimony in the committee’s probe. On social media, the move is fueling renewed anger and speculation about elite ties to Epstein, even as many of the claims in Epstein’s own emails remain uncorroborated and appear part of his efforts to leverage or entrap powerful contacts.
