Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates will sit for an interview about Jeffrey Epstein by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on June 10, according to a person familiar with the situation, who spoke anonymously because the appearance has not been announced.
Gates is one of several people who have agreed to be interviewed by the Oversight panel about their dealings with Epstein, the notorious sex offender who killed himself in a New York jail in August 2019.
In February, Gates apologized to staff at the Gates Foundation for his association with Epstein and admitted having affairs with two Russian women, which Epstein learned of, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. Gates at that same event said, “I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit,” the newspaper reported.
His interview will come a day after the committee’s scheduled interview of Epstein’s former executive assistant, Lesley Groff, according to the person familiar with the situation.
Another billionaire, Ted Waitt, has agreed to testify on April 30, according to the person familiar. Waitt was a co-founder of the Gateway computer company.
Tova Noel, a federal correctional officer who was on duty at the jail when Epstein committed suicide, has agreed to be interviewed on May 18, according to the person familiar.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is scheduled to appear before the committee for his own interview about Epstein on May 6.
