Melinda French Gates is publicly confronting the latest Jeffrey Epstein court disclosures naming her ex-husband, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, just weeks after tax files showed he transferred nearly $8 billion to her independent foundation under the terms of their divorce settlement.
Files released by the Justice Department last week show Epstein had drafted notes to and about the billionaire, suggesting Gates had engaged in extramarital affairs, although representatives for Gates have repeatedly shot down the allegations.
