Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is among seven people who on Tuesday were asked to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee regarding its ongoing investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The six others are Lesley Groff, a former longtime executive assistant to Epstein; Sarah Kellen, another former Epstein employee; Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House counsel to former President Barack Obama; Leon Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management; Doug Band, a longtime personal aide and counselor to former President Bill Clinton, who along with his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both testified separately on Epstein before the House Oversight Committee last week; and tech billionaire Ted Waitt, a former boyfriend of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who attended Chelsea Clinton's 2010 wedding as a guest of Maxwell.

In the seven letters, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer writes that the committee believes the recipients "have information that will assist in its investigation." Comer explains that the committee is reviewing the "alleged mismanagement of the federal government's investigation" into Epstein and Maxwell, ways in which Epstein and Maxwell "sought to curry favor and exercise influence to protect their illegal activities," and "potential violations of ethics rules related to elected officials."

The seven were given testimony dates ranging from April 16 to June 9.

The trumpstine files leading man needs to come out with his bought and paid for Putin, Epsitine supplied arm candy and take a bow for his command performance. After all he has a starring role as most often referred to in the case.

Groff, Kellen, and Black make sense so the Republicans will likely stay away from those like they did with Wexner.
