Bill Gates testified before the US House Oversight Committee regarding his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to wire service reports, Gates stated he never victimized anyone. The testimony was part of a closed-door session.

Coverage of the event diverges in framing, with the NZ Herald and BBC News focusing on Gates' statements about Epstein. The Guardian also covered Gates' testimony, with similar details. The BBC News added that Epstein used Gates' marital infidelities to pressure him, a detail not emphasized in the other two outlets.

Only the BBC News mentioned Epstein's use of Gates' marital infidelities as a pressure point, a context not covered by the NZ Herald or the Guardian. This detail is missing from the other two outlets' coverage.
