Bill Gates will testify on June 10 before the U.S. Congressional Committee investigating the Epstein scandal, a source familiar with the matter told Politico today. The billionaire co-founder of Microsoft will testify behind closed doors before the Committee, which plans to question him about his relationship with American financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of sex crimes against minors and died in prison before his trial. A Gates spokesperson said he "welcomes" the opportunity to testify. "While he never participated in any of Epstein's crimes, he looks forward to answering the Committee's questions in support of his important work," the spokesperson said. At the end of February, Bill Gates said his relationship with Epstein was "a big mistake," admitting to members of his foundation that he had extramarital affairs with two Russian women, though he denies any involvement in the businessman's crimes. "I didn't do anything illegal. I didn't see anything illegal," he said, according to the Wall Street Journal. According to him, his relationship with Epstein began in 2011, three years after the businessman pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution. An email from Epstein published by the U.S. Department of Justice claims Bill Gates had extramarital affairs. In the email, which appears to have never been sent, Jeffrey Epstein says he helped "Bill" get medication to deal with "the consequences of sexual relations with Russian girls."
