During his testimony, Gates admitted that his meetings with Epstein were a serious mistake.
"I never visited his island, his ranch, or his home in Florida. I did not mistreat anyone,"
He also emphasized that he saw no evidence of Epstein's criminal activity during his contacts with him.
The Epstein Case
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2008 of sexual offenses involving minors. In July 2019, he was arrested again on suspicion of new sexual crimes.
That same year, Epstein died in a New York prison cell while awaiting trial. US authorities concluded that he committed suicide.
The release of new US Department of Justice documents has once again drawn attention to Epstein's ties with prominent politicians, businessmen, and public figures.
