Bill Gates arrives on Capitol Hill for closed door Jeffrey Epstein interview

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates faced tough questions behind closed doors on Capitol Hill about his relationship with the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Recent emails, photos released by the Justice Department, and remarks from Gates’ ex-wife Melinda have complicated his philanthropic image.

The House Oversight Committee is conducting more than a dozen interviews, including with Gates, to delve deeper into his unlikely friendship with Epstein. Lawmakers and staff are expected to press further into the matter as part of the bipartisan inquiry into the notorious case.

A lawyer for Gates has not responded to requests for comment.
