Gates reveals Epstein blackmail fears during explosive congressional testimony

Bill Gates Jeffrey Epstein

Bill Gates testified to the House Oversight Committee that he believes Jeffrey Epstein attempted to extort him over extramarital affairs.
Gates admitted to having affairs with three women—Mila Antonova, Karima Nigmatulina, and Dr. Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt—during his testimony.
He denied ever witnessing or participating in sexual misconduct with Epstein, though he acknowledged he may have unwittingly been in the presence of victims.
Gates dismissed unsent draft emails by Epstein containing lurid allegations as false, including claims about facilitating sexual encounters and covertly medicating his then-wife.
Gates expressed regret for associating with Epstein, despite being aware of his criminal conviction, and apologized to Gates Foundation staff for his past association.
