Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has been fingered in new sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, files released on Friday by the U.S Department of Justice. 

​The documents contain claims suggesting that Gates contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD) from “Russian girls” and attempted to conceal it from his then-wife, Melinda French Gates.

Pan-Atlantic Kompass reports that tens of thousands of pages of material released so far have included photos, videos, court records, FBI and DOJ documents, news clippings, and emails. 

Some files include mentions of prominent figures, like U.S President Donald Trump, former U.S President Bill Clinton, and billionaire Elon Musk, who have not been tied to wrongdoing.  

The Epstein Files Transparency Act required the DOJ to produce its files related to the late sex offender and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, by Dec. 19, but the DOJ said the volume of material and the need to redact survivors’ identifying information meant the files would have to be released on a rolling basis.

The latest release of the Epstein Files fingered Gates through a series of draft emails from July 2013. 

In these messages, Epstein described himself as a frustrated intermediary, claiming he helped Gates manage the fallout of extramarital affairs.

Two emails Epstein sent to himself on July 18, 2013, contain unverified allegations that Gates had extramarital “sex with Russian girls” that resulted in a sexually transmitted infection requiring antibiotics. 

In one email, Epstein claimed Gates also sought to “surreptitiously give” the antibiotics to Melinda Gates. 

In another, which Epstein drafted as a resignation letter from the perspective of someone named “Boris,” he said, “I have been asked and wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate, to the ethically unsound and have been repeatedly asked to do thing (sic) that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal…From helping Bill to get drugs, to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trusts, with married women, to being asked to provide adderall fro (sic) bridge touramnts (sic), as I am a medial (sic) doctor, but have no presriptions (sic) writing ability.”

The emails appear to have been written by Epstein on behalf of an aggrieved employee of Bill Gates who was resigning. The The Daily Mail and other outlets have suggested Epstein may have been drafting a resignation letter for Boris Nikolic, a physician and a former employee of Bill Gates. 

However, a spokesperson for Bill Gates has issued a statement, denying the allegations found within the latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The spokesperson for Bill Gates wasted no time in dismissing the claims, labeling them the desperate fabrications of a “disgruntled liar.”

The spokesperson said: “These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false. 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.” 

Below is the full text of Epstein’s email released by the U.S DOJ;

​I cannot believe that you have chosen to disregard our friendship developed of over the last 6 years . I am aware that Accidents happen , it is how each of us has chosen to deal with this unfortunate event that has me dismayed beyond comprehension. you have decided to discharge me from my job, had Larry, your pr person tell me that I engaged in morally inappropriate behavior asked me to be the major actor in a cover up so that you can maintain the reputation that you have worked so hard to achieve. , asked me to recommit to a confidentiality agreement and have categorically told me that we cannot have any direct ongoing business relationship , in total disregard for its impact on the public perception of MY reputation. I will have ti diligently avoid the truth, tell people that bill will not invest with me , and craft and answer that suits your needs. but you did agree to send you a letter of recommendation should a future employer ask for one. You have told me that Melinda insists , on me not communicating with you unless Larry is copied or present. Though you have consistently maintained that I could not have done a better job, and that i was underpaid compared to my contribution, you then beyond all sense of fairness, and frankly decency , said that as “generous” compensation for keeping the gates reputation intact, you would , let me keep what we agreed I had already owned ( the investment pieces) and give me 2 years severance . similar to Christine Turner. another casualty . IF the shoe was on the other foot I would have said, Boris, this is not your fault. , I ,confessed to Melinda, you didn’t,- It was in a moment of weakness , and I will do anything within my power to make it right for you. I have more money than anyone needs and I assure you I will structure something so that you will not be penalized for my error . Lucky for me I have enough money to provide to you , though it will not heal the injury , it will make you secure in your future, In addition I will bend over backwards, to make sure your next career is rewarding and on an upswing. I appreciate the fact that this drastically alters your plans and am very aware of the career path you gave up to join the Foundation. I am very sorry, but as I believe time heals all wounds, this will eventually pass. In that regard I suggest I buy you the house that you so had your heart set on. and in addition to five years of severance will buy you out of the investment contract we had agree, 30 -40 percent of a hundred million dollar partnership. for 30 million dollars in today’s dollars. terms and conditions to be agreed. That’s what i would have done had i been in your shoes. what i did receive however was an unfriendly strongly worded email , telling me how employable I am and that i should not look to you for any significant financial help in the future, TO add insult to the injury you them implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda and the description of your penis. You also made it clear to me that I am not to refer to [REDACTED] as that is another topic that must remain between the two of us. In return for all of these requests , which I would have done without a second thought . I am not to attend meetings with Melinda , I should continue to provide you the same level of service and dedication that i have done so diligently until you are ready to discard me and our friendship.
