Bill Gates is scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee in the coming weeks, as the committee continues its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Gates will sit for a transcribed interview June 10, according to a person familiar with the matter granted anonymity to discuss the committee\u2019s deliberations. His interview comes after the committee issued a March 3 letter requesting his testimony.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Gates\u2019 foundation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The Microsoft founder has been under heavy scrutiny for his relationship with the disgraced financier. Documents released in December depicted Gates with Epstein, and Gates has previously said<\/a> he had several dinners with Epstein, though he added he was under the impression Epstein would use his wealthy connections to fundraise for global health causes.<\/p>\n

When that didn\u2019t happen, Gates told PBS NewsHour in 2021, he cut off the dinners and called the meetings \u201ca mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gates\u2019 sitdown will round out a series of interviews before the committee.<\/p>\n

Ted Waitt, the founder of Gateway who was romantically linked to Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell for years, will sit for a transcribed interview April 30, the person said; Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is also set to appear before the committee May 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tova Noel, the prison guard who said she was the last to see Epstein alive, will be interviewed on May 18. And Lesley Groff, Epstein\u2019s longtime assistant, will sit for an interview June 9.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson at Waitt\u2019s foundation did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did lawyers who have represented Groff. Noel could not immediately be reached.<\/p>\n

The transcribed interviews, while more informal than a deposition, will take place behind closed doors.<\/p>\n

The committee has already interviewed former Attorney General Bill Barr, former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta<\/a> and Maxwell, who remains incarcerated.<\/p>\n

Former President Bill Clinton<\/a> and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton<\/a> have also been questioned on their relationship with Epstein.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
