Bill Gates says accusations in Epstein files are ‘completely ridiculous’

Reports about Bill Gates’ connections with Jeffrey Epstein have become more alarming with each document dump from the Department of Justice. The latest includes somewhat confusing emails that Epstein may have drafted on behalf of someone named Boris, who worked for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The letters claim that Bill had contracted a sexually transmitted disease and wanted to “surreptitiously” administer antibiotics to Melinda. It also claims that Bell had “encounters” with married women and “Russian girls.”

“These allegations are completely ridiculous and completely false. The only thing these documents show is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to trap and defame.”

It is not clear who Boris is referred to in the emails, or whether the messages were sent to anyone. Epstein is listed only in the From and To fields.

Gates’ relationship with Epstein has become a major issue for the billionaire philanthropist. He initially downplayed their relationships, but the documents indicated they were closer than Gates admitted. He has repeatedly denied being associated with Epstein outside of fundraising and charitable efforts, and has said their meetings were a “terrible mistake.” However, Melinda Gates stated that Bill’s association with Epstein played a role in her decision to file for divorce.
