Multiple outlets report that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is seeking additional legal and investigative support ahead of his expected testimony before US lawmakers. According to the reports, Gates has hired or consulted a former chief investigations counsel for the House Oversight Committee. The purpose, as described by the sources, is to help prepare for questions related to “Epstein” during his appearance.
The articles do not provide further details on what specific materials or strategy the counsel will offer, nor do they confirm the scope or timing of Gates’s testimony beyond referencing that it will take place before members of the US House Oversight Committee. The coverage is also framed as “reported” information, indicating it is based on claims cited by the outlets rather than a directly attributed statement from Gates or the committee.
Overall, the shared point across sources is that Gates is reportedly adding experienced oversight-investigations personnel in advance of his testimony involving questions connected to Epstein-related matters.
