Bill Gates tells US House ‘I have never victimized anyone’ in Epstein testimony

Bill Gates testified before the House committee on oversight and reform on Wednesday, stating in his opening remarks that he "never witnessed nor had any indication" that Jeffrey Epstein was "engaged in ongoing criminal conduct." Gates expressed his support for the release of all Epstein files and his hope that survivors of Epstein's crimes would receive justice. He appeared in a closed-door session as part of the lawmakers' investigation into the convicted sex offender. Gates emphasized his willingness to answer questions about his interactions with Epstein and to contribute to the committee's work. The testimony comes as part of a broader congressional inquiry into Epstein's activities and his connections with prominent figures.
