Bill Gates Denies Allegations of STD and Infidelity in Response to Epstein Documents

Microsoft (MSFT-US) co-founder Bill Gates issued his first public response to爆料 contained in U.S. Department of Justice documents from the Epstein case. The documents, released on January 30, allege he had an affair and contracted a sexually transmitted disease, with internal emails suggesting he tried to delete such claims and give antibiotics to his then-wife. In a recent interview, Gates categorically denied the allegations. He said he met James Epstein in 2011 and they dined together for over three years, but described the relationship as a mistake that he now deeply regrets. “That letter didn’t go out. I don’t know why he wrote it. It only makes me more sorry for every minute I spent with him. I apologize for that,” he said. Gates further clarified, “I never went to the island, and I never met any women. So as more emerges, the facts will become clearer. This was a mistake, not involving those acts.”
