House Oversight Republicans released their final Epstein report Tuesday. It concludes that federal law enforcement and prosecutors repeatedly failed, and that Epstein's crimes after 2005 could have been prevented.

The 15-month probe blames a 2007 non-prosecution deal for much of that failure. Bill Gates, Leon Black and a former Obama White House counsel are among those named, though no documents implicate President Trump.

Committee Democrat Robert Garcia, who is set to lead the panel in January, called the report incomplete and promised public hearings.

Bill Gates says governments, not charity, must tackle the inequality AI could widen, and that tax rules for the richest need rethinking. He says voluntary giving cannot act as a safety net.

He has pledged nearly all of his roughly $100 billion fortune to his foundation, but says giving cannot replace public policy. He also suggests taxing robots and AI tools, since hiring workers brings payroll taxes while buying a machine can count as a business expense.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang backs people paying taxes but disagrees with taxing robots.
