Bill Gates admitted to having two affairs with Russian women while apologizing for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. "It was a huge mistake to spend time with Epstein," Gates, 70, said in a Gates Foundation company town hall, per a recording obtained by The Wall Street Journal. "I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made." Gates addressed his staff in the meeting on Tuesday, February 24, claiming that he never did or saw anything "illicit" while spending time with late billionaire sex trafficker Epstein.
