Bill Gates admitted to Gates Foundation staff members that he had two affairs and also said it was a "huge mistake" to spend time with late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
Bill Gates admitted to Gates Foundation staff members that he had two affairs and also said it was a "huge mistake" to spend time with late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
At a town hall on Tuesday, Gates apologized for his connection to Epstein following the release of emails from 2013 that Epstein sent to himself, claiming that he was Gates' "right hand" and had participated in things for him that were "ethically unsound." Representatives for Gates have previously called Epstein's claims "absolutely absurd and completely false."
"I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit," Gates said Tuesday, according to a recording exclusively reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Gates acknowledged that he had two affairs with women that Epstein later discovered, but said that they didn’t involve Epstein’s victims.
"To be clear, I never spent any time with victims, the women around him," he said, The Wall Street Journal reported.
