Bill Gates

Background

Bill Gates (William H. Gates III, born October 28, 1955) is an American business executive, technologist, and philanthropist best known as the co-founder of Microsoft and a co-chair of the Gates Foundation. His documented contacts with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein's 2008 conviction have been reported in major outlets and referenced in records collected in this archive, including correspondence-linked materials and congressional oversight letters.

Public reporting has described a series of meetings between Gates and Epstein in the 2010s, with Gates later stating that meeting Epstein was a mistake. In March 2026, House Oversight records in this archive show a formal committee request for a transcribed interview with Gates in connection with Epstein-Maxwell oversight activity. Gates has not been charged with any Epstein-related crime and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
