Bill Gates Testifies Before Congress on Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
Billionaire Bill Gates testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding his past relationship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, faced questions about his interactions with Epstein, which have come under scrutiny following the release of the Epstein files. During the closed-door session, Gates expressed regret for his association with Epstein, stating he never witnessed any criminal conduct by Epstein and was unaware of the full extent of Epstein's crimes at the time. Gates acknowledged that his meetings with Epstein, which occurred between 2011 and 2014, were a mistake and emphasized that no charitable funds were raised through their discussions. The committee's investigation aims to understand the nature of Gates' relationship with Epstein and whether it involved any misconduct.
