Bill Gates has spent years downplaying his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Democrats just made that impossible.
And Bill Gates’ worst nightmare just appeared in a new Epstein photo release.
House Democrats drop bombshell Epstein photos featuring Gates
House Democrats on the Oversight Committee just released another batch of photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate as the Department of Justice faced a Friday deadline to release thousands of pages of Epstein files that President Donald Trump ordered made public.
The images of Bill Gates raise serious questions about everything the Microsoft founder claimed about his relationship with the convicted sex trafficker.
Gates appears posing with two women whose faces were redacted.
Epstein kept a framed picture of Gates hanging on the wall at his mansion on his private island.

Democrats have now released portions of 95,000 images they subpoenaed from Epstein’s estate.
The photos show Gates alongside Epstein’s longtime pilot Larry Visoski next to the pedophile’s private jet.
One image from earlier releases captures Gates standing with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — formerly Prince Andrew — who lost his royal title this year because of his Epstein ties.
Gates claimed he barely knew Epstein
For years, Gates insisted his connection to Epstein was minimal.
“I had several dinners with him, you know, hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy for global health through contacts that he had might emerge,” Gates told CNN in 2021.¹
When the philanthropy angle didn’t pan out, Gates said “that relationship ended.”²
In 2023, Gates told ABC Australia he’d answered questions about Epstein “over the hundredth time” and that he “shouldn’t have had dinners with him.”³
The Microsoft founder maintained he only met Epstein to raise money for global health causes and told the Wall Street Journal in 2019 that he “did not have a business relationship or friendship with Epstein.”⁴
Those claims look ridiculous now.
The photos tell a different story than “several dinners.”
A 2019 New York Times report detailed that Gates met with Epstein “on numerous occasions” starting in 2011 — three years after Epstein was convicted of sex crimes — including overnight stays at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse.⁵
Gates employees from his foundation made multiple visits to Epstein’s mansion.
A 2011 email shows Gates found Epstein’s lifestyle “very different” and “kind of intriguing.”⁶
That’s a strange way to describe a convicted sex offender.
Melinda Gates warned him Epstein was “evil personified”
Gates’ ex-wife Melinda knew something was wrong.
She told CBS in 2022 that she met Epstein once because she “wanted to see who this man was.”⁷
“I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door,” Melinda stated. “He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. I had nightmares about it afterwards.”⁸
She made her feelings crystal clear: “I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no. I made that clear to him.”⁹
Gates kept meeting with Epstein anyway.
The Wall Street Journal reported in 2023 that Epstein threatened to expose Gates for an alleged affair with a Russian bridge player in 2017 while he was still married to Melinda.¹⁰
That threat came after Gates refused to join a multibillion-dollar charitable fund Epstein was setting up with JPMorgan Chase.
Melinda later said Gates’ relationship with Epstein contributed to their 2021 divorce after 27 years of marriage, telling CBS that “there just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn’t healthy, and I couldn’t trust what we had.”¹¹
The framed photo tells the real story
The latest photo release includes something particularly damning.
Epstein kept a framed photograph of Bill Gates on the wall inside his mansion on his private island.
Nobody frames pictures of someone they had “several dinners” with.
That’s what you do with close friends and associates.
Activist Jason Bassler called out the obvious: “Newly released Epstein pictures show a framed photograph of Bill Gates hanging on his wall. Strange way to honor a ‘nobody.'”¹²
Gates started his relationship with Epstein after Epstein was already a registered sex offender.
The philanthropist served time in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Federal officials had identified 36 girls Epstein allegedly sexually abused, but he got a sweetheart plea deal to plead guilty to only two crimes.
Gates knew all of this when he began meeting with Epstein in 2011.
And he kept meeting with him for years despite his wife’s warnings that Epstein was “evil.”
Gates now admits the relationship was “a huge mistake” and that he was “quite stupid.”¹³
But those admissions only came after he got caught.
The photos Democrats released this week prove Gates wasn’t being honest about the depth of his Epstein connection.
And Americans deserve to know why the world’s most prominent philanthropist spent years cultivating a close relationship with a convicted pedophile.
