Bill Gates, just this week, the founder of Microsoft, was giving a town hall to his family's Gates Foundation office.

and was asked about his relationship with Epstein.

He also showed up in emails and he acknowledged having two affairs with Russian women, but he has denied abusing underage women.

The revelations just basically caused him more embarrassment about his relationship.

He said he should not have been involved with Epstein and has apologized for that.

So the fallout continues to grow.

Yeah, it's unclear how Congress will try to basically compel more information from the Justice Department.

They did not get any clear answers from Bondi about whether additional alleged co-conspirators would be named.

The problem from the Justice Department side is that a reluctance to name people with criminal allegations unless charges have been filed.

So one of the key documents that lawmakers have tried to get from the Justice Department and has not yet been released publicly is a draft indictment, a federal indictment that was never released against Epstein naming other people.

And then there's another document called a prosecution memo that explains the legal reasoning behind Epstein.

the investigation of Epstein and why they chose some charges other than others when he was charged federally indicted in 2019, shortly before his death by suicide while jailed, awaiting trial on those charges.

So there are definitely documents that name additional people

The Justice Department has said most of what remains sealed is because it contains legal reasoning from inside the department and that it is privileged and so not subject to release.

Lawmakers disagree.

They still want those documents.

And we're waiting for next steps from the lawmakers to see how they could get them.

Well, again, we're going to have to wait and see what Congress can do to try to compel that release.

There have been several documents that included Trump's name, but they have been dismissed as not being credible because they involved accusations that were made during the 2020 campaign.

And basically years after the events would have occurred and after Epstein's death.
