Newly released Jeffrey Epstein files have made fresh allegations involving Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, claiming he contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD) following alleged sexual encounters with Russian women.
According to the report, the US Justice Department has released over 3 million pages of documents connected to Epstein, including draft emails Epstein allegedly wrote in July 2013.
What the documents claim
The drafts reportedly suggest Epstein acted on behalf of Gates’ former science adviser, Boris Nikolic, around the time Gates was preparing to step away from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
In the alleged emails, Epstein claimed he assisted Gates with:
“drugs,”
“illicit trysts with married women,”
providing Adderall for bridge tournaments,
and references to the alleged encounters involving “Russian girls.”
One of the drafts, allegedly written as an email to himself, includes Epstein’s admission that he “wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from morally inappropriate to potentially illegal.”
The files also describe a reported breakdown in Gates’ relationship with Nikolic.
Nikolic allegedly claimed that Gates once approached him “with tears in his eyes”, pleading for him to delete emails that contained:
details of the alleged STD,
requests for antibiotics,
and other personal information.
Key note: claims not independently verified
The report notes that none of these allegations have been independently verified, but the new document release is expected to intensify public scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s network and the prominent figures linked to him.
