Previously undisclosed draft emails written by Jeffrey Epstein have reignited controversy, alleging that Bill Gates engaged in sexual encounters with Russian women and later sought antibiotics for a sexually transmitted disease to avoid alerting his then-wife, Melinda French Gates.
The claims appear in 2013 draft correspondence attributed to Epstein and reviewed by investigators. The emails, never sent but preserved in Epstein’s records, describe alleged private meetings and suggest efforts to keep certain medical treatments confidential. There is no independent evidence confirming the allegations outlined in the drafts.
Gates has categorically denied the accusations, calling them “false” and “reckless,” and stressing that Epstein’s writings should not be treated as fact. A spokesperson for Gates said he never engaged in illicit sexual conduct and never sought secret medical treatment as described in the emails.
The revelations have nonetheless fueled renewed attention on Gates’ past association with Epstein, which has long drawn criticism despite Gates acknowledging that meeting Epstein was a “mistake.” Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, maintained extensive relationships with powerful figures and frequently exaggerated or fabricated claims about his influence, according to multiple court filings.
Legal and ethics experts caution that Epstein’s draft emails—particularly unsent documents—must be treated with extreme skepticism. Still, the language and detail in the drafts have raised uncomfortable questions about how Epstein collected, recorded and potentially weaponized information about elite figures.
The episode underscores how Epstein’s shadow continues to loom over global politics, business and philanthropy years after his death. Each new disclosure, even unverified, adds pressure on institutions and individuals once linked to him, highlighting the enduring fallout from one of the most disturbing scandals of the modern era.
