James Comer of Kentucky, the panel&#8217;s Republican chairman, <a href=\"https:\/\/oversight.house.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3.3.26-Bill-Gates-TI-Request.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> to Gates on March 3 requesting he appear for the interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Comer wrote at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Gates, who is one of the world&#8217;s wealthiest people, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bill-gates-epstein-files-apology-gates-foundation-melinda-gates\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">apologized<\/a><\/span> in February to the staff of his philanthropic Gates Foundation for his ties to Epstein. He said their relationship lasted from 2011 through 2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In July 2013, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bill-gates-elon-musk-epstein-files-what-documents-show\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Epstein sent himself<\/a><\/span> a pair of emails containing unverified allegations that Gates had extramarital &#8220;sex with Russian girls&#8221; that resulted in a sexually transmitted infection requiring antibiotic treatment. In one email, Epstein claimed Gates also sought to &#8220;surreptitiously give&#8221; antibiotics to his then-wife, Melinda Gates.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Gates told CBS News in January that the &#8220;claims are absolutely absurd and completely false. The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein&#8217;s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/bill-gates-apologizes-to-foundation-staff-over-epstein-ties-67f39ef5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> in February that at the same employee town hall where Gates apologized to staff, he admitted that he &#8220;did have affairs, one with a Russian bridge player who met me at bridge events, and one with a Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Later emails and text messages show Epstein sought to rekindle his friendship with Gates, and secure an investment.<\/p>\n<p>Epstein wanted to pitch Gates on a donor-advised fund, a tax-deductible charitable vehicle that Epstein wanted to operate, but it never materialized.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates-messages\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Text messages<\/a><\/span> from 2017 released by congressional investigators in November show Epstein communicating with an apparent adviser to Gates about the proposal.<\/p>\n<p>The adviser said Gates was interested in the idea, but said Melinda Gates didn&#8217;t want him to communicate with Epstein. The two divorced in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He wants to talk to you but his wife won&#8217;t let him,&#8221; the adviser said. In a series of texts a minute later, the adviser said of Gates, &#8220;he loves you,&#8221; &#8220;he says hi,&#8221; and &#8220;he feels bad about the [donor advised fund] btw He thought great idea but wife wouldn&#8217;t allow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Gates Foundation did not immediately reply to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Gates is the latest in a procession of famous and powerful figures to sit for depositions before the Oversight Committee&#8217;s Epstein investigators.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Others who have appeared include former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, billionaire Les Wexner and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The committee has also requested interviews with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, former White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and Doug Band, Bill Clinton&#8217;s longtime aide. Lutnick is scheduled to appear on May 6.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
