Bill Gates has rubbished “absurd” claims about an alleged affair that appear in the latest batch of Epstein files.
The pedophile Jeffrey Epstein once claimed that the billionaire businessman and philanthropist had engaged in extramarital sex, according to an email released by the Department of Justice on Friday.
Epstein made this claim in a 225-word email he sent to himself on July 18, 2013, with the subject line: “bill.”
A spokesperson for Gates vehemently denied the allegations made in the note.
“These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false,” the spokesperson told The Independent. “The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.”
In the email, the deceased pedophile financier wrote: “I have decided to resign my position effective immediately with BG3 and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.”
He wrote that, as an associate of Gates, he had been asked to do things that were “potentially over the line into the illegal.” He added that Gates and his then-wife, Melinda Gates, had been caught up in a “severe marital dispute” and that he had helped facilitate “illicit trysts” for the billionaire.
The couple announced their divorce in May 2021. That same year, Gates told PBS News that he had dinners with Epstein in the hopes of raising funds for global health. He described the meetings as “a mistake.”
The newly released email was one of more than 3 million documents released by the Department of Justice on Friday to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law in November.
Among the newly released files are thousands of emails, court documents and photos, many of which reference high-profile individuals, such as President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton and Elon Musk. Being named in the files does not in and of itself constitute evidence of wrongdoing.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the massive data dump complies with federal law and “marks the end of a very comprehensive” review process.
