A newly scheduled congressional testimony has placed Bill Gates at the center of the latest developments in the Epstein investigation. Lawmakers confirmed his June 10 appearance before the House Oversight Committee as part of their ongoing review of newly released Department of Justice records.
The document dump spans millions of files and includes repeated references to Gates and his past interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. His testimony now follows a series of high-profile depositions already conducted by the committee in recent months.
The House Oversight Committee continues to map out Epstein’s network, examining relationships, timelines, and documented communications.
Gates is expected to participate in a closed-door, transcribed interview, a standard format for witnesses in the probe. Earlier testimonies have included figures such as former President Bill Clinton, while others remain scheduled in the coming weeks.
The Justice Department records show Gates met Epstein multiple times between 2011 and 2014, including discussions around a proposed philanthropic fund. Reports also indicate Gates flew on Epstein’s private plane and maintained contact during that period.
The documents place these interactions after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, which has become a central point of scrutiny in the investigation.
“Every minute I spent with him I regret and I apologise that I did that,” Bill Gates said, as he addressed his past association while responding to growing scrutiny following the document release.
His remarks surfaced during public and internal discussions as details of the files continued to circulate.
Gates has denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes and said he never witnessed illegal activity. He stated that his interactions focused on philanthropy and global health efforts.
At the same time, the committee continues to call additional witnesses, while some scheduled testimonies face delays, as lawmakers work through both released and still-undisclosed records.
