A transcript of the testimony that Bill Gates gave to a House committee about his relationship with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was released by the panel on Tuesday.
Gates, a co-founder of Microsoft, in his June 10 testimony, expressed regret about his contacts with Epstein, which he said were designed to win financial support for the Gates Foundation, his philanthropic venture.
“I should never have met with Epstein in the first place,” Gates told members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, according to the transcript.
The House panel also on Tuesday released a transcript of the June 9 testimony by Epstein’s former executive assistant, Lesley Groff.
