Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, testified before the House Oversight Committee that he had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities. Gates stated that Epstein attempted to leverage sensitive information about his personal life, particularly his marital infidelity, to exert pressure on him. Gates emphasized that he never engaged in any criminal activities with Epstein and cut off all contact by December 2014.

During the closed-door testimony, Gates admitted to meeting Epstein in 2011 after being promised help in raising funds for global health initiatives. He described their relationship as 'limited' and acknowledged knowing about Epstein's previous legal troubles but not the full extent of his crimes. Gates called meeting Epstein a 'gross mistake' and supported the release of all files related to the case.

The testimony followed the release of documents implicating Gates in Epstein's circle. Gates denied allegations from draft emails attributed to Epstein, which claimed he arranged sexual encounters and provided medication to Gates. Gates' lawyer stated he would not answer questions unrelated to the Epstein case. The committee plans to call more high-profile figures for testimony in July.
