Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates appeared before the US House Oversight and Accountability Committee to testify about his relationship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Gates admitted that Epstein had blackmailed him over extramarital affairs, stating bluntly: “I should never have met him.” He reiterated that he never witnessed any criminal behavior by Epstein and had no knowledge of his illicit activities, adding an explicit denial: “I have never molested anyone.” The testimony is part of the ongoing fallout from the Epstein files, which continue to pull high-profile figures into the public spotlight years after the financier’s death.
