“These affairs had nothing to do with my interactions with Epstein, but they were painful for my family,” Gates said, according to the transcript.

Gates stated that while Epstein never successfully blackmailed him, he strongly believes Epstein contemplated doing so. He pointed to a 2013 email draft authored by Epstein that referenced Gates’ personal indiscretions and involved his former employee Boris Nikolic.

Gates described his association with Epstein as a mistake and denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities. He said the two met around 12 to 14 times and had two video calls over a four-year period, primarily discussing philanthropy and potential wealthy donors — connections that never materialized.

“I know he was convicted. I knew about that. I was willing to take a chance on meeting with him in a limited role,” Gates said.

The Lawmakers questioned Gates about documents suggesting he had worried about contracting a sexually transmitted infection after an affair. He strongly rejected the claims.

“I never had an STD… I never gave medicines to anyone covertly,” Gates stated.

The testimony comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s network following the release of additional court documents. In response, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced it will conduct an external review of its past interactions with Epstein.
