LETTER REQUESTING A TRANSCRIBED INTERVIEW: BILL GATES
DATED MARCH 3, 2026
This official House Oversight letter asks William H. Gates III to provide testimony in an in-person transcribed interview as part of the Committee's Epstein investigation. The request appears in a coordinated set of seven same-day interview letters released by the Committee.
The letter states that the Committee is reviewing alleged federal investigative mismanagement, the circumstances of Epstein's death and later investigations, anti-trafficking enforcement issues, influence-seeking behavior by Epstein and Maxwell, and potential ethics concerns involving public officials. It explains that the request is based on three information streams identified by the Committee: public reporting, DOJ-released documents, and records the Committee has separately obtained.
The text sets a firm interview schedule and provides contact instructions for Majority staff to arrange attendance or address logistics. It also references House Rule X to ground the request in the Committee's standing oversight jurisdiction. By putting the request in writing and releasing it publicly, the Committee created a clear procedural record that can later be compared with compliance, follow-up correspondence, or subpoena action if needed.
For archival use, this letter documents the witness phase of congressional oversight and provides a timestamped record of the Committee's investigative framing in March 2026.
