It’s not just about the sex.
Two weeks ago, the US House Oversight Committee grilled tech billionaire Bill Gates over his association with late convicted sex offender and suspected human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein – and came out with new information over Gates’ affairs and Epstein’s efforts to blackmail him.
Yesterday, the transcripts of his testimony were released, showing the former richest man in the world named three women he had extramarital affairs with, two of them Russian.
The Telegraph reported:
“The billionaire Microsoft co-founder told the House oversight committee that he had affairs with two Russian women, naming them as Mila Antonova, a bridge player, and Karima Nigmatulina, a nuclear physicist.
Mr. Gates later admitted to a third extramarital affair with another female scientist [Dr Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt] following scrutiny from US congressmen during the hours-long testimony on June 10, a transcript published on Tuesday revealed.”
He continues to deny ever seeing Epstein’s abuse, repeating his line that it was “a mistake to spend time with him”.
He as much as admitted to having confided in a mutual friend of his and Epstein’s that ‘he feared he may have caught a sexually transmitted disease from one of the women’.
“In his closed-door testimony delivered to the US Congress, he suggested that Epstein “contemplated blackmailing me” after learning of his unfaithfulness with the two Russian women.
[…] Mr. Gates, who testified to Congress voluntarily, insisted that while Epstein did not successfully blackmail him about the affairs, ‘it looks like Mr. Epstein’s brainstorming was going in that direction’.”
