The House Oversight Committee released the full transcript of Bill Gates's closed-door testimony on Tuesday, and the document confirms what the Microsoft co-founder told lawmakers thirteen days earlier. He had affairs with a Russian bridge player and a Russian nuclear physicist, and he believes Jeffrey Epstein personally weaponized those specific details to plot a potential blackmail attempt against him.

Gates sat for nearly six hours of questioning on 10 June, according to the committee. The transcript was published on 23 June, alongside the release of Lesley Groff's earlier deposition. Bloomberg first reported the contents on Tuesday evening.
