Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents several alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein, told Newsmax that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has "some explaining to do" about his involvement with the deceased convicted sex offender.
Allred told "American Agenda" on Wednesday that the same is true for "everybody who associated with [Epstein], especially after the 2008 conviction of Mr. Epstein, who also had to register as a sex offender."
Allred said she's disappointed in Congress, which did not subpoena Gates to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.
"It disturbs me," she said, "that the committee does not have these important, powerful men who were associated with Epstein subpoenaed and under oath."
She believes the testimony in the Epstein investigations should be filmed and made available to everyone.
"They should be under oath, and they should be recorded so that the public can one day see and hear their recorded testimony," Allred asserted, "as the committee did with Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. Why an exception is made for everyone else, I don't know."
The high-profile attorney said victims need access to relevant information about the case.
"This procedure of just having political representatives come out and tell us their concept and memory of what was just said," Allred said, "is just not fair to the public."
Gates, one of the world's richest men and a leading philanthropist, appeared before the House committee for a transcribed interview about the disgraced financier, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges involving underage girls.
The panel asked Gates to appear after documents released by the Justice Department raised new questions about his contacts with Epstein.
