Comer calls for Bill Gates, six others to appear for transcribed interviews in Epstein probe

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer called Tuesday for seven people to appear in front of his panel for transcribed interviews related to their relationships with Jeffrey Epstein.

The requests come the same day Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick agreed to testify in front of the panel on his relationship with Epstein, after he admitted that he had lunch with the convicted sex-offender in 2012.

"The Oversight Committee is continuing to seek the truth for survivors & all Americans," Comer said on X.

Comer is now seeking testimony from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Gateway, Inc. founder Ted Waitt and private equity investor Leon Black. He proposed Gates testify May 19, Black testify May 13, and Waitt testify April 16.

The other four people are Kathryn Ruemmler, Lesley Groff, Sarah Kellen and Doug Band.
