Melinda French Gates Calls Out Bill’s Ties to Epstein
Mia Mercado - Thursday
“It’s not one thing; it was many things,” French Gates said. “But I did not like that he’d meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no. I made that clear to him.” Bill Gates had a working relationship with Epstein, reportedly receiving business and relationship advice from the convicted sex offender. Gates has since tried to minimize their relationship, but he did say in a statement to CBS News, “Meeting with Epstein was a mistake that I regret deeply. It was a substantial error in judgment.”
French Gates said she met Epstein once and “regretted it” instantly. “He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards,” she said, though she didn’t give details on the interaction. When pressed further about why Gates continued to meet with Epstein after her reaction to meeting him, French Gates said questions about Bill’s relationship with him are “for Bill to answer.” However, she added, “I made it very clear how I felt about him.”
