Melinda Gates asked Bill Gates to introduce her at her Moment of Lift book tour stop in Seattle on 2019-05-10.

True if event records, news reports, photos or video show that Bill Gates introduced Melinda Gates at her The Moment of Lift book tour event in Seattle on or about 2019-05-10, with no evidence that the introduction was not at her request. His own contemporaneous post is acceptable support for the request itself. Mostly true if he introduced her at the Seattle tour event but the date differs by a day or a similar minor detail is off. Mixed if he appeared at the Seattle event but in some other role than introducing her. Mostly false if he introduced her at a different tour stop and not in Seattle. False if records show he did not take part in the Seattle event, or that no such Seattle tour stop took place.

   “During a May 2019 Seattle stop on a tour for her book “The Moment of Lift,” Melinda Gates was introduced at McCaw Hall by her husband.”

   ““My gift to Melinda is simply to tell her that the moment we met was my moment of lift,” Bill Gates said, holding back tears on stage.”

GeekWire, an independent source, reports that Melinda Gates's husband introduced her at McCaw Hall during a May 2019 Seattle stop on her The Moment of Lift book tour (E1). The same article quotes Bill Gates speaking on stage as part of that introduction (E2). The article gives the month rather than the exact day, but nothing in it conflicts with his post of 2019-05-10, which says the event was "tonight". The criteria accept his own post as support that she asked him, and no evidence says otherwise.
