The House Oversight Committee announced it will seek testimony from notable figures listed in the massive Epstein Files, including Bill Gates. In a press release published Tuesday night, seven individuals were named to receive requests for transcribed interviews.
Along with controversial tech globalist billionaire Bill Gates, those who have been called to testify are former President Bill Clinton advisor: Doug Band, former CEO of private equity firm Apollo Global Management: Leon Black, former Epstein aide: Lesley Groff, reported Epstein assistant (who also claimed to be a victim): Sarah Kellen, counsel to former President Barack Obama: Kathryn Ruemmler, and tech billionaire: Ted Waitt.
In addition, House Oversight Committee member Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., also announced plans to subpoena United States Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, who was named in the Epstein files multiple times, with many of the communications showing Epstein attempting to meet with Lutnick.
Mace publicly posted to X, stating that Lutnik reportedly volunteered to testify. She stated, “Thank you Sec. Lutnick.”
As public interest in the lengthy ongoing Epstein investigation continues to dominate social media, Mace also encouraged House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., to seek depositions from an unprecedented list of notable names from entertainment celebrities like Woody Allen, Kevin Spacey, Peter Attia, David Copperfield, and convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein, to famous spiritual advisor: Deepak Chopra, Lawyer: Alan Dershowitz, British economist: Richard Khan, multiple foreign nationals, and over two dozen others.
Mr. Chairman, this is a solid start. The Oversight Committee, however, needs to bring in more individuals to more thoroughly continue the Epstein investigation. Here is my initial list – including your 7 – but not including those already deposed:
