Bill Gates Denies Knowledge of Epstein Crimes in Congressional Testimony
Share:
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates testified before a congressional committee, denying any knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities while acknowledging his meetings with the convicted sex offender were a "serious error in judgment." During the closed-door hearing, Gates admitted he failed to properly vet his contacts with Epstein but maintained he was unaware of any illegal conduct. The testimony comes as part of ongoing congressional scrutiny into Epstein's extensive network of high-profile contacts. Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, but investigations into his associates and enablers have continued.
