WASHINGTON (AP) — Bill Gates says he made an error in judgment by ever meeting with Jeffrey Epstein as the Microsoft co-founder faces questions behind closed doors from lawmakers about his relationship with the disgraced financier. In an opening statement provided Wednesday (June 10, 2026) to The Associated Press, Gates said he should never have met with Epstein, but that he never had any indication that Epstein was engaged in criminal activity. The tech billionaire became the latest powerful figure linked to Epstein to testify before the House Oversight Committee. As Gates arrived at the Capitol, he noted that he was there voluntarily.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bill Gates is set to appear before a congressional panel investigating the Jeffrey Epstein files, becoming the latest powerful figure linked to the disgraced financier to testify. House Oversight Committee members are slated Wednesday (June 10, 2026) to interview the billionaire Microsoft co-founder behind closed doors, as they’ve done with other witnesses. Transcripts are often released later. Republican committee chairman congressman James Comer requested Gates testify after he appeared multiple times in a trove of documents released by the Justice Department as part of its Epstein investigation. The files read like a who’s who of powerful men across tech, finance, politics and other industries. Gates has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of girls.
