Bill Gates has told US lawmakers that Jeffrey Epstein attempted to use sensitive details from his private life as leverage after their relationship broke down. Appearing before the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill, the Microsoft co-founder acknowledged that Epstein had become aware of his extramarital affairs and later tried to exploit that knowledge.
'I learned Epstein had become aware of sensitive information about my personal life, including the fact that I had been unfaithful in my marriage,' Gates said in a prepared statement.
