Gates tells House Oversight Committee that meeting Epstein was 'a grave error in judgment'
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
On June 10, 2026, Bill Gates sat for a closed-door interview with the U.S. House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, telling lawmakers that meeting Epstein was 'a grave error in judgment' and that he 'never witnessed nor had any indication that Epstein was engaged in ongoing criminal conduct.' Gates said Epstein had tried to use information about Gates's marital infidelities 'to pressure me to re-engage with him' — an attempt Gates described as unsuccessful — and stated he cut off contact in December 2014 after their fundraising discussions stalled. He maintained that his contact with Epstein, which began in 2011, had been aimed at raising money for global health. The interview was not recorded; the committee said it would release a transcript.

Gates abruptly cancels India AI Summit keynote amid fresh Epstein scrutiny
In February 2026 Bill Gates pulled out of delivering a keynote address at a major artificial-intelligence summit in India just hours before he was due on stage, even though he was already in the country and his attendance had been confirmed days earlier. The Gates Foundation said only that, 'to ensure the focus remains on the AI Summit's key priorities,' Gates would not deliver the keynote, and that the Foundation would instead be represented by a senior executive. The withdrawal followed a newly released tranche of Epstein-related files that renewed scrutiny of Gates's past association with the financier. The episode was widely covered as a sign of the reputational pressure the Epstein files were placing on Gates's public engagements.
