Overview
- Media outlets reported Tuesday that Gates will appear June 10 before the House Oversight Committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein's network.
- The session will be a transcribed interview under oath held in private that produces an official written record.
- A spokesperson said Gates welcomes the chance to testify and echoed his recent statement, "I did nothing illegal."
- Lawmakers sought his account after the Justice Department released about three million pages of Epstein case files in February that included references to him.
- Gates says he met Epstein in 2011 for fundraising talks, denies visiting the private island, and calls a 2013 draft email implying an affair and a request for antibiotics false.
