Bill Gates to testify on Epstein

The investigation aims to uncover the full extent of Epstein's social and financial ties to some of the world's most powerful figures.

Gates has previously expressed regret over his meetings with Epstein, which he claimed were for philanthropic purposes.

The committee is also expected to hear from corrections officers who were on duty at the time of Epstein's death in a federal jail.

This development marks a significant escalation in the public inquiry into the Epstein scandal and its repercussions for high-profile associates.
