Bill Gates Pressed on Jeffrey Epstein During NBC Meet the Press Appearance (9/29/26)

Bill Gates again addressed his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during a September 27 appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, where he denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island and said his contact with Epstein consisted of roughly 10 meetings over a period of a few years. Gates laughed nervously at points while answering questions and insisted that there were never women present during those meetings, that he had no financial relationship with Epstein and that he never visited Epstein’s island. He also pointed to his June testimony before the House Oversight Committee, where he called his decision to meet with Epstein a “grave error in judgment” and said he had been drawn in by Epstein’s claims that he could help raise large amounts of money for global health initiatives.

The renewed questioning came after months of scrutiny over how extensive the relationship actually was. An external review commissioned by the Gates Foundation found roughly 30 meetings between Epstein and foundation leaders and staff, including Gates, between 2011 and 2014, even as employees raised concerns about Epstein’s criminal history. Gates has maintained that he never knew about any ongoing criminal activity and that he ultimately cut off contact after concluding Epstein could not deliver the philanthropic connections he had promised. The larger controversy has therefore centered not on an accusation that Gates participated in Epstein’s crimes, but on why he continued meeting with a convicted sex offender, how extensive those contacts were and why the relationship persisted despite warnings about Epstein’s past.
