The Microsoft founder Bill Gates told US members of Congress that the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had sought to “blackmail” him over his extramarital affairs, according to a transcript of the testimony.
The tech pioneer testified behind closed doors before the House oversight committee on 10 June regarding his friendship with Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 as he awaited trial for sex crimes.
According to the transcript released by the committee on Tuesday, Gates spoke of “veiled” threats and said Epstein had considered exploiting his own knowledge of Gates’s extramarital affairs to force him to remain in Epstein’s orbit, even as Gates was distancing himself from Epstein.
“I was not blackmailed, but you know, as you look at these emails, you know, it looks like Mr Epstein’s brainstorming was going in that direction,” Gates added, referring to documents from the Epstein case released in January by the US Department of Justice.
PLEASE have COMPASSION for the Billionaire Sexual Predator! Gates
NOTAND Epstein!-Republicans LITERALLY!
Kind of feels like he cared more about covering his own ass than revealing what he knew about Epstein.
Yes. “Affairs.” With “women.”
Sex trafficked “women.” he left that part out.
I don’t think the “women” Bill had “extramarital affairs” with could legally buy lottery tickets.

I think the kompromat is what allowed them to function. None of them could move against epatein because he had evidence of their involvement.
And this is news how? This all came out around his divorce. The Russian Hookers, the STDs he got, the thought that sometimes he was infecting his wife and the fact that he gave her half legally and gave her more to keep her quiet, and that they happened at a “rich friend’s private Island”. And then the Epstein Files showed some of this through the emails.
Gates was a monster that hung out with monsters that played as a philanthropist
Uhh, this is news to me.
Really telling that between “being exposed as an unfaithful husband” and “being “threatened” to be “friends” with the owner of pedo island”, he preferred the latter.
“I was not blackmailed… "
Garbage article.
