The House Oversight Committee has summoned Bill Gates and Leon Black for transcribed interviews as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The panel, led by Chair James Comer, sent letters to seven individuals requesting testimony based on public reporting and documents from the Department of Justice. The billionaires are among those the committee believes possess relevant information.

Comer's letters state that public reporting and documents obtained by the committee indicate the witnesses have information that will assist the investigation. The committee is conducting a broader probe into Epstein's activities and connections, seeking testimony from multiple high-profile figures. The letters request in-person transcribed interviews with each of the seven individuals.

The development marks a significant escalation in the congressional investigation, bringing scrutiny to prominent business leaders' potential connections to the disgraced financier. The committee's actions suggest investigators are pursuing leads that may connect Epstein's network to influential figures in technology and finance.
