Bill Gates testified June 10 for nearly six hours before the House Oversight Committee, which is examining the government's handling of the Epstein case and those with ties to him.

"I should never have met with Epstein in the first place," Bill Gates told members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Gates also said he knew Epstein had a criminal conviction of a “sexual nature,” which he said he “probably should have” dug into.
