The House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's network will reach its one-year mark with no resolution in sight. Both Democrats and Republicans have expressed pressure to continue probing Epstein's associates, including high-profile figures like Howard Lutnick, Leon Black, and Bill Gates, while new names such as Frédéric Fekkai and Philip Levine have emerged. The probe remains politically charged, with neither party showing signs of slowing down despite limited progress in securing criminal charges.

The House Oversight Committee issued subpoenas to Leon Black during an interview over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after he refused to discuss potential non-disclosure agreements tied to Epstein. The committee emphasized the importance of the information for its investigation, while Black's lawyer criticized the move as a political stunt.

Bill Gates expressed remorse for his association with Jeffrey Epstein during a House Oversight Committee interview, but lawmakers remain uncertain about the impact on his reputation. Gates claimed he did not know about Epstein's crimes and described their relationship as a means to access donors for humanitarian work. Lawmakers noted his philanthropy but criticized his 'grave error in judgment' in engaging with Epstein.

New Mexico voters will decide which Republican candidates will face three House Democrats in November. Polls close at 9 p.m., with live results available from Decision Desk HQ.

Pam Bondi participates in a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee regarding the Epstein files. Lawmakers, including Democrats and some Republicans, demand transparency over the Department of Justice's handling of the files during her tenure. The interview occurs amid criticism of delayed document releases and incomplete redactions.
