Bill Gates to Testify Before US House Panel in High‑Profile Jeffrey Epstein Probe

Bill Gates to Testify Before US House Panel in High‑Profile Jeffrey Epstein Probe

Microsoft co‑founder Bill Gates is set to appear before a U.S. House of Representatives committee on June 10, 2026, to provide a transcribed testimony as part of a congressional investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Gates joins a list of high-profile figures whose names have surfaced in Justice Department documents revealing Epstein’s extensive network and connections with prominent global leaders and business magnates.

The House Oversight Committee has been examining records, emails, and photographs from Epstein’s estate to understand the extent of his relationships with influential individuals. Gates will testify in a closed-door session, similar to the interviews given by former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

A spokesperson for Gates said he “welcomes the opportunity to appear before the Committee” and reaffirmed that Gates never witnessed or participated in any of Epstein’s illegal activities. The spokesperson emphasized that Gates intends to fully cooperate and answer all questions to support the committee’s investigation.

Gates has previously described his association with Epstein as a “huge mistake.” He acknowledged meeting Epstein between 2011 and 2014, a period after Epstein had pleaded guilty in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution. Gates clarified that his interactions were aimed at exploring potential philanthropic collaborations and that he ended the relationship once it became clear Epstein’s promises would not materialize.

Justice Department documents include unverified claims referencing Gates, including personal matters and alleged interactions, which he has denied. Gates has also publicly addressed past personal indiscretions, admitting to extramarital affairs but insisting he had no involvement with Epstein’s criminal activities.

The congressional inquiry aims to uncover how Epstein cultivated relationships with elites, whether law enforcement failed to intervene effectively, and the extent to which his network may have influenced others. Gates’s testimony is expected to provide clarity on his interactions with Epstein and his awareness of the financier’s activities.

This testimony marks a significant moment in the ongoing high-profile Epstein investigation, which continues to draw global attention due to its implications for powerful figures in politics, business, and philanthropy.
