The new files of controversial American financier Jeffrey Epstein, published by the US Department of Justice, contain information about one of the founders of Microsoft, Bill Gates, who allegedly needed medication after intimate relationships with “Russian girls”. This was reported by The Telegraph.
It is claimed that these were emails that Epstein sent to himself in July 2013. In them, he claimed that Gates allegedly contracted a sexually transmitted disease after having intimate relations with Russian girls. Gates separately asked Epstein to obtain antibiotics for him and secretly pass them on to his then-wife, Melinda Gates.
It was also claimed that Gates urged him to delete messages relating to the alleged incident.
The financier complained in the letters that he had been drawn into a “serious conflict” between Bill and Melinda Gates.
Epstein sharply criticized Gates for ending their friendship, writing that he was “insanely shocked” by the decision after six years of collaboration.

The Justice Department has not verified the accuracy of the claims made in Epstein’s draft emails.
Gates has previously stated that he regrets his friendship with Epstein, who died in a New York prison in 2019. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. At the same time, the new materials also contain previously unpublished photos of Gates and Epstein together in various locations.
Bill and Melinda Gates were married from 1994 to 2021. Melinda Gates has previously stated publicly that her husband’s infidelity and his ties to Epstein were among the reasons for the divorce, without revealing details.
