Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that Bill Gates told the House Oversight Committee that Epstein leveraged information about Gates’ affairs to pressure him. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: Bill Gates told the House Oversight Committee that Epstein leveraged information about Gates’ affairs to pressure him.
