Bill Gates Reacts To Inclusion In Epstein Files As Oversight Committee Mulls Subpoena: 'Every Minute I Spent With Him, I Regret'

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.

In an interview with an Australian outlet, Gates said he had dinner with Epstein on several occasions in hopes of making him part of a project to build a network of investors for global health initiatives.

"The focus was always, he knew a lot of very rich people, and he was saying he could get them to give money to global health. In retrospect, that was a dead end," Gates said.

He went on to reference an alleged email that Epstein sent to himself claiming Gates got a sexually-transmitted disease and asked for antibiotics to surreptitiously give to his then-wife Melinda.

"Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. Ah, that email was never sent. The email is false," Gates said. "So, I don't know what his thinking was there. It just reminds me that every minute I spent with him, I regret, and I apologize I did that," he added.

Despite the denial, lawmakers have called for Gates to testify before Congress. They are Reps. Nancy Mace and Ro Khanna. The former said she asked the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. James Comer, to subpoena Gates after watching an interview with Gates' ex-wife, Melinda, where she addressed the matter.

"I have questions for Bill Gates about Epstein," Mace said in a social media publication. Khanna echoed the call, saying he would "vote yes to subpoena Gates and every person who has emails talking about going to Epstein's island."

The interview Mace was making reference to involved Melinda Gates' call for her ex-husband to answer questions about allegations made about him in the latest tranche of the Epstein files.

"Whatever questions remain there of what I don't, can't even begin to know all of it, those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband," she said in an interview with NPR's "Wild Card" podcast. Ro Khanna said he would vote yes to the subpoena Gates "and every person who has emails talking about going to Epstein's island."

Comer said he is considering calling Gates to testify. "We're certainly looking at that, so we'll have more to come on that," he said, noting that he has been approached by several lawmakers from both parties.
