Big tech billionaire Bill Gates is reportedly set to give testimony regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during an in-person transcribed interview before the GOP-led House Oversight Committee.
In a letter addressed to Gates back on March 3, Republican Chairman James Comer of Kentucky wrote that the Justice Department’s release of Epstein-related documents prompted renewed interest in the Microsoft co-founder.
Comer laid out what the committee was investigating, then quickly pivoted to Gates, requesting his presence in Washington, D.C.
Comer wrote that the committee’s main focus is on potential “mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation into Mr. Jeffrey Epstein and Ms. Ghislaine Maxwell,” along with the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death, sex trafficking rings, and whether or not these two individuals used powerful contacts to shield themselves from legal consequences.
“Due to public reporting, documents released by the Department of Justice, and documents obtained by the Committee, the Committee believes you have information that will assist in its investigation,” the Republican lawmaker stated. “Accordingly, we request your testimony at an in-person transcribed interview on May 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET in Washington, D.C.”
He added, “The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principal oversight committee of the U.S. House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate ‘any matter’ at ‘any time’ under House Rule X.1 To schedule your appearance for the interview or ask related questions, please contact Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Majority staff.”
CBS News confirmed that Gates will appear before the Oversight Committee for questioning on June 10, citing a “source familiar with the plans.”
