Bill Gates to testify in U.S. Congress over Jeffrey Epstein ties

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is set to testify before the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday as part of a congressional investigation into his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The closed-door hearing before the Committee on Oversight will allow Gates to answer questions regarding his past dealings with the convicted sex offender.

Gates' name appeared in over three million pages of documents released by the Department of Justice in January. These documents included emails purportedly sent by Epstein to himself in 2013, suggesting Gates was having an extramarital affair and seeking medication for a sexually transmitted disease to administer to his wife, Melinda, without her knowledge. Gates has vehemently denied these claims, calling them "false" and expressing regret for every minute spent with Epstein, describing the association as "foolishness."

"Al parecer, Jeffrey se envió un correo electrónico a sí mismo. Ese correo nunca se envió, es falso. Así que no sé qué estaba pensando. ¿Intentaba atacarme de alguna manera?", Gates stated, questioning Epstein's motives behind the alleged emails.

Gates previously stated he met Epstein in 2011 and they dined together on several occasions, but he denied visiting Epstein's private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. These statements followed comments from his ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, who indicated that her former husband had "issues to explain regarding his ties" to Epstein. Other prominent figures, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have also testified before the committee regarding their connections to Epstein.
