Microsoft founder Bill Gates has said that Jeffrey Epstein had tried to blackmail him over his involvement with Russian girls to force him into reviving their contact.
Gates has stated that he never had sex with underage women in the ex-paedophile’s mansion.
Bill Gates testifies before the House Oversight Committee about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
As reported by TMZ, Gates’s newly released testimony before the House Oversight Committee mentions “blackmail” 22 times. Gates has confirmed that the late sex offender was thinking of blackmailing him over his extramarital affairs as a way to tear into his already collapsing marriage with Melinda Gates.
Gates claimed that he and Epstein would connect strictly over business matters, and they never talked about sex in their meetings. The tech founder also denied any knowledge of Epstein’s paedophilia and hadn’t witnessed any of his sexual overtures.
While he admitted that some young women were present with Epstein during their conversations, he did not think any of them were underage. He also firmly denied being introduced, offered, or having sex with any young woman or girl.
While Epstein had a reputation for getting massages from young girls, Gates denied ever getting one or contracting an STD. Gates also claimed that he did not know about Epstein’s criminal behaviour when they were in touch. He broke the ties with him in 2014, after he found out the truth. It was since then that Epstein considered blackmailing him to bring him back into his inner circle.
At the same time, the Guardian has reported that the Epstein files have confirmed that Gates and Epstein maintained a real relationship, including multiple meetings, photographs together, and email exchanges, but the documents released so far have not produced evidence that Gates participated in or had knowledge of Epstein’s sexual crimes. The fact remains that Bill Gates met Jeffrey Epstein multiple times between 2011 and 2014, despite Epstein’s 2008 conviction, according to The New York Times.
