## Resource

Bill Gates faced tough questions before the House Oversight Committee over his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, as newly surfaced emails and photos reignited scrutiny. Gates called the “Russian girls” email a lie and denied any illegal activity, insisting he saw “nothing illegal” and never met Epstein’s victims or traveled to his island. He admitted the relationship was a “huge mistake” and expressed regret, though his marriage to Melinda Gates ended in 2021, with Epstein’s behavior cited as a factor. Melinda called Epstein “abhorrent” and “evil personified.” The committee continues investigating how Epstein’s files were handled, with Gates’ professional association dating back to 2011 and lasting until at least 2014. Gates has previously acknowledged affairs with two Russian women but denies any wrongdoing. The closed-door interview was not recorded.
