Khaberni - Republican Representative Nancy Mace has requested James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, to issue a subpoena against Bill Gates due to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Mace wrote in a post on the "X" platform that she had seen an interview with Melinda Gates the previous night, and immediately thereafter urged Comer to issue a subpoena against Bill Gates.
She emphasized that "no one is above the law, whether they are billionaires or influential people," affirming that "everyone must be held accountable without exception."
In an NPR radio interview on Tuesday, Melinda Gates urged her former husband to answer questions related to the allegations in the new batch of Epstein files, noting that "there are still questions about things she doesn't know and can't even fully comprehend, as they are directed to the parties concerned and even to her former husband."
Mace expressed her severe dismay at the crimes committed by Epstein, having left a closed meeting with survivors earlier this year visibly affected, pointing out her personal shock as a survivor of sexual assault.
In an interview on Wednesday, Bill Gates apologized for spending time with Epstein, saying he had several dinner meetings with him hoping to build a network of investors to support global health initiatives.
He clarified that the focus was always on Epstein knowing many wealthy people and saying he could persuade them to provide funds to support global health projects, adding that looking back, this turned out to be a dead end.
Gates added that he was naive in spending time with him and that he is one of many who regret knowing him, emphasizing that as more information appears, it will become clearer that although spending time with him was a mistake, it has nothing to do with that type of behavior.
In the last batch of files released by the Department of Justice, the name of the technology company founder appeared in an email Epstein sent to himself, claiming that Gates had asked him to delete messages related to being diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease and a request for antibiotics, which he said he could provide "secretly" to his wife at that time.
