Republican U.S. Rep. James Comer said he is "very open" to the possibility of Bill Gates testifying before the House Oversight Committee to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein, the chair said in a video interview reposted to his X account Feb. 5.

Discussion over the Jeffrey Epstein files is intensifying as the US Justice Department continues to release new documents.

Bill Gates has addressed the controversial revelations involving his sex life raised in the latest Epstein files, including a sexually explicit email he describes as “false.” Gates, 70, appeared in Friday’s dump of millions of documents involving the late sex offender.

Microsoft founder and billionaire Bill Gates reacted to his inclusion in the Epstein files, saying he regrets spending time with him and rejecting the veracity of an email about him asking for antibiotics to treat a sexually-transmitted disease.
