Epstein Files Claim: Bill Gates caught STD from 'Russian girls'; sought antibiotic for ex-wife Melinda

Freshly unsealed documents from the Jeffrey Epstein archive have sparked renewed controversy around Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft. Among millions of pages released by the U.S. Justice Department are draft emails from 2013 that include lurid and unverified claims about Gates’ personal life and his interactions with Epstein.

According to these draft emails — written by Epstein and found on his computer — Gates allegedly feared he had contracted a sexually transmitted infection following encounters with “Russian girls.” The documents also claim he sought help obtaining antibiotics with the intention of giving them to his then-wife, Melinda French Gates, without her knowledge. One message reportedly shows Epstein suggesting Gates tried to have related emails deleted.

However, there is no independent verification that these emails were ever sent, that the events described actually occurred, or that the allegations are factual. Gates’ representatives have called the material “absurd and completely false,” saying it reflects Epstein’s bitterness rather than truth.

The controversy also reflects broader scrutiny of Gates’ past association with Epstein. Gates has acknowledged meeting Epstein several times in the past and later described those interactions as a serious misjudgment. His ex-wife, Melinda French Gates, has previously said that his connection with Epstein was a factor in their decision to divorce in 2021.
