A spokesperson for Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has responded to shocking allegations contained in the latest Epstein files, including claims that he contracted a sexually-transmitted disease, calling them “absolutely absurd and completely false”.
According to BBC, the files include two emails dated July 18, 2013, which appear to have been drafted by Jeffrey Epstein. However, it remains unclear if they were ever sent to Gates.
Both messages were sent from Epstein’s own account back to the same account, with no visible email address associated with Gates and both remaining unsigned.
One email was written as a draft resignation letter from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In it, the author complains about having to procure medicine for Gates to “deal with the consequences of sex with Russian girls”.
The second email, addressed “Dear Bill,” expresses frustration over Gates ending their friendship. It makes further claims that Gates attempted to cover up a sexually transmitted infection, including hiding it from his then-wife, Melinda.
A spokesperson for Gates told the BBC: “These claims, from a proven, disgruntled liar, are absolutely absurd and completely false.”
They added: “The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.”
