  • Gates' spokesperson stated he welcomes the opportunity to appear, denying any witnessed or participated illicit conduct, though Gates previously apologized to staff for his friendship with Epstein.

  • Other individuals expected to testify include former Attorney General Pam Bondi, billionaire Ted Waitt, corrections officer Tova Noel, and Epstein’s former executive assistant Lesley Gross.
