Billionaire Invoice Gates testified in a closed-door listening to earlier than the Home Oversight Committee on Wednesday about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and one of many world’s most distinguished philanthropists, instructed members he had no data of Epstein’s crimes and that Epstein tried to make use of details about his private life to strain him.
Throughout his opening assertion, Gates stated he exercised poor judgement in assembly Epstein and was “one among many individuals who remorse ever understanding him”.
The BBC’s Gary O’Donoghue breaks down the connection between Gates and Epstein, and the way lawmakers reacted to his testimony.
