House Oversight Sets June Testimony Dates for Bill Gates, Howard Lutnick in Epstein Probe
Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick scheduled to testify before House committee investigating Epstein connections.
The House Oversight Committee has scheduled testimony from two high-profile figures in its ongoing Jeffrey Epstein investigation, with Microsoft founder Bill Gates set to appear on June 10, according to multiple reports from CNBC, The Washington Post, and other outlets.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has also been scheduled to testify before the committee next month, as reported by The Hill and Scripps News. The interviews represent a significant escalation in the House probe into Epstein's connections with prominent business and political figures.
Gates' relationship with Epstein has been a subject of scrutiny since it became public that the two met multiple times, including meetings at Epstein's Manhattan mansion. Gates has previously acknowledged the meetings were a "mistake" and has denied any business relationship with the disgraced financier. The [Epstein Document Archive](/documents) contains numerous references to Gates in various investigation materials.
Meanwhile, in related Epstein-connected real estate news, Valley News reported that Ghislaine Maxwell's former New Hampshire estate has been sold for $2.4 million. The property sale represents another piece of the Epstein network's assets being liquidated following the criminal cases against both Epstein and Maxwell.
The House Oversight Committee's investigation continues to examine the broader network of relationships surrounding Epstein and the extent of knowledge various figures had about his criminal activities. The upcoming testimonies by Gates and Lutnick could provide new insights into Epstein's connections within elite business and government circles.
