The Gates-Epstein saga takes a new turn. A UK parliamentary committee has obtained notes from Bill Gates' deposition. The documents are causing a stir in Westminster.
Sources say the notes reveal Gates’ admission to multiple meetings with Epstein. The tech billionaire's initial statements were incomplete. This is a classic case of reputation management.
But the committee sees it differently. They smell a cover-up. The narrative of a single, regrettable dinner is now in tatters.
Gates described Epstein as a 'fount of ideas'. That is damning for a man convicted of sex offences. The notes show Gates was warned about Epstein.
He ignored the warnings. The committee believes Gates is hiding more. They want him to testify in person.
This could become a major political storm. The government is watching closely. No one wants to be linked to Epstein.
But Gates is a global figure. His misjudgement could have geopolitical fallout. The timing is awful for his philanthropic work.
The committee is expected to release a full report next month. The pressure is on. Downing Street is remaining silent.
But behind the scenes, they are nervous. This story will run and run.
