In a candid town hall meeting with staff at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates publicly addressed his past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, confessing to extramarital affairs while emphatically denying the gravest allegations linked to the recently released Epstein files.
During the closed-door session with foundation employees, Gates acknowledged that aspects of his former personal life previously surfaced in the unsealed Epstein files were true, though limited in scope. First reported exclusively by The Wall Street Journal, the remarks mark Gates’s most extensive comments yet on both his personal conduct and how his ties with Epstein developed and unraveled.
