Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and one of the world’s most talked-about billionaires, has opened up the pages of his personal life in secret testimony before a committee of the US Congress. Gates has admitted that he had extramarital affairs with three women. He claimed that late financier Jeffrey Epstein was aware of these affairs and was trying to use it as a weapon to blackmail him.
Epstein and Gates’ ‘controversial’ connection
Bill Gates admitted that keeping in touch with Jeffrey Epstein was a big mistake. Gates told the committee that he met Epstein 12 to 14 times and also spoke on video call twice. According to him, these meetings were mainly for the purpose of philanthropy and connecting with potential donors. However, Gates made it clear that his illicit relations had nothing to do with any kind of business or personal relationship with Epstein.
The era of blackmailing and that ’email’ of 2013
Gates revealed that Epstein was trying to put pressure on him by using information about his infidelity (extramarital affairs). Although Gates clarified that Epstein never directly blackmailed, a 2013 email draft clearly indicated that Epstein’s intentions were not good and that he was planning a blackmailing strategy somewhere. According to Gates, these revelations have deeply hurt his family.
vehemently denied sexual allegations
During the testimony, Bill Gates described the allegations against him as completely baseless and false, in which he claimed to have a sexually transmitted infection (STD). Gates insisted that he never had any STD nor did he ever do anything wrong like secretly giving drugs to anyone. He denied any complicity with Epstein’s heinous crimes, saying that maintaining contact with Epstein was a big mistake, something he still admits to this day. This secret testimony exposes unresolved aspects of Gates’s private and public life that have been the subject of discussion for years.
