Gates Testifies Epstein Attempted Blackmail Over Affairs, Denies Involvement With Victims

Gates acknowledged his association with Epstein may have inadvertently enabled the financier's exploitation of victims by enhancing his false image of legitimacy.

Before the House Oversight Committee, Bill Gates offered a rare accounting of how proximity to power can become its own moral hazard. The Microsoft co-founder described how Jeffrey Epstein — a man Gates knew carried a sexual criminal conviction — was nonetheless welcomed into his orbit because he promised access to wealth and influence. What Gates testified to is not merely a story of blackmail attempted and deflected, but of how legitimacy, once lent, cannot easily be recalled — and how the hunger for philanthropic capital can quiet the questions that conscience might otherwise ask.
