Bill Gates and Howard Lutnick to Testify in House Jeffrey Epstein Investigation

Two high-profile figures will soon face questions from Congress about their ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on June 10. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will appear earlier, on May 6. Both men are among the latest prominent individuals called to testify in the ongoing congressional investigation.

The House Oversight Committee has been investigating Epstein's network of connections with powerful business and political leaders. Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Gates previously acknowledged meeting with Epstein multiple times, calling those meetings a "mistake" after Epstein's criminal history became widely known. Lutnick, who leads the Commerce Department, has not publicly detailed his connections to Epstein.

The committee has also scheduled other witnesses, including Gateway founder Ted Waitt for a transcribed interview on April 30.

Why this matters

This investigation could reveal how Epstein built relationships with powerful business and government leaders. The testimony may shed light on how convicted criminals can gain access to influential people who shape technology and financial policy.

What to watch

Ted Waitt testifies April 30, Howard Lutnick appears May 6, and Bill Gates testifies June 10.
