Bill Gate apologizes for affairs and connection with Epstein Files

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates acknowledged having affairs with two Russian women while married to Melinda French Gates and apologized to his foundation staff for past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. During a February 24th Gates Foundation town hall, the 70-year-old billionaire admitted relationships with “a Russian bridge player who met me at bridge events and one with a Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities.” Gates maintained “I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit” regarding Epstein connections. The admissions followed Justice Department document releases showing Epstein’s draft emails claiming Gates contracted a sexually transmitted infection from “Russian girls.” Gates called spending time with Epstein after 2011 “a huge mistake” and said their interactions ended in 2014. He credited ex-wife Melinda for being “skeptical” of Epstein all along. Story URL
