Overview
- Bill Gates said he regrets every minute he spent with Jeffrey Epstein, calling their meetings a mistake and denying he ever visited Epstein’s island or met women there.
- The Justice Department recently released more than three million Epstein-related pages, including 2013 emails Epstein wrote to himself that reference Gates and make unverified claims.
- Reporters note the emails appear to be drafts with no corroboration, and it remains unclear whether any were sent to Gates or reflect actual events.
- Melinda French Gates said the disclosures stirred painful memories and that those named in the files, including her ex-husband, should answer remaining questions themselves.
- Rep. Nancy Mace urged the House Oversight Committee to require Gates to testify under oath about his ties to Epstein.
