Rep. James Comer's promise came a day after first lady Melania Trump urged Congress to give victims of Jeffrey Epstein a public hearing so "we have the truth."

By Nolan D. McCaskill and Andrew Goudsward WASHINGTON, April 8 (Reuters) - Former U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi does not plan to appear for a planned interview with a House of Representatives committee on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files following her firing by President Donald Trump,

Billionaire Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, is expected to testify before a congressional committee about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

The House Oversight Committee also will interview billionaire Ted Waitt about his dealings with Epstein on April 30.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has requested a transcribed interview with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates as part of its investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

First lady Melania Trump said people are trying to "defame" her reputation by pushing "lies" about her and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, addressing what she said are "false smears" in an extraordinary public address at the White House on Thursday.

The federal government’s online Epstein library contains a five-page handwritten report of an FBI interview with an inmate who awoke the morning of Aug. 10, 2019 to the loud commotion in the Special Housing Unit, or SHU, where he and Epstein were jailed. “Breathe! Breathe!” he recalled officers shouting about 6:30 a.m.
