Newly released Jeffrey Epstein files allege that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD) after sexual encounters with Russian women. The Justice Department’s latest release of over 3 million pages includes draft emails Epstein purportedly wrote in July 2013.

The drafts suggest Epstein acted on behalf of Gates’ former science adviser, Boris Nikolic, amid Gates’ decision to leave the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. According to the documents, Epstein claimed he assisted Gates with “drugs, illicit trysts with married women, and providing Adderall for bridge tournaments,” while also referencing the Russian encounters.

One draft email, allegedly sent to himself, details what Epstein described as morally and ethically questionable actions, writing that he “wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from morally inappropriate to potentially illegal.”

The files also describe a falling out between Gates and Nikolic. Nikolic allegedly stated that Gates approached him “with tears in his eyes” asking him to delete emails detailing the STD, requests for antibiotics, and personal information about Gates.

Epstein’s documents raise questions about Gates’ personal conduct, though none of the claims have been independently verified. The new release adds to public scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s network of associates and their private dealings. (AriseNews TV, but headline rejigged)
