Bill Gates says Epstein sought to blackmail him over extramarital affairs

7 hours ago

Bill Gates testified to Congress that Jeffrey Epstein attempted to 'blackmail' him over extramarital affairs, though Gates stated he was not actually blackmailed.
Gates described Epstein's 'veiled' threats and draft emails as potential rehearsal for blackmail, but emphasized no such messages were sent to him directly.
Gates acknowledged his relationship with Epstein, which started in 2011, was a mistake but denied knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities or involvement in them.
He admitted to extramarital affairs with two Russian women and cited Epstein's ability to raise funds for global health as part of his initial connection to him.
The testimony highlights how Epstein's documents reveal links to public figures who often downplayed or denied ties to the sex offender.
