Bill Gates Squirms As Interviewer Presses Him on Connection to Jeffrey Epstein: ‘He’s Dead, So…’

Displaying all the aplomb of a first-grader in the principal’s office, 💼Bill Gates grew defensive in a recent interview when asked about his relationship with 👤Jeffrey Epstein.

A report by The Daily Beast earlier this year said that although some contact between the two men had been widely reported after Epstein’s suicide in a Manhattan jail in 2019, the two met often between 2011 and 2014.

Judy Woodruff of PBS honed in on the relationship when she interviewed Gates, wondering what a billionaire could have wanted from a convicted pedophile.

“You know, I had dinners with him. I regret doing that,” Gates said. “He had relationships with people he said, you know, would give to global health, which is an interest I have. … Not nearly enough philanthropy goes in that direction.”

“Those meetings were a mistake,” he added. “They didn’t result in what he purported, and I cut them off. You know, that goes back a long time ago now. There’s — so there’s nothing new on that.”
