Bill Gates spent years insisting his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was purely about philanthropy.
The legacy media dutifully repeated his story.
But Bill Gates was in hot water after this message from Jeffrey Epstein was exposed.
Gates' Adviser Sent Epstein Messages That Prove Everything Was A Lie
Newly released text messages from Jeffrey Epstein's files blow apart every story Bill Gates has told about their relationship.¹
The 2017 texts, part of a massive document dump released by Congress on November 13, show Epstein wasn't some distant acquaintance Gates met a few times for philanthropy.
He was someone Gates desperately wanted to reconnect with — and only his wife stopped him.
In one exchange, an adviser to Gates told Epstein: "He wants to talk to you but his wife won't let him."²
Read that again.
This was 2017 — nine years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution with a minor.
Gates knew exactly who Epstein was, what he'd done to underage girls, and he still wanted contact.
The texts get worse.
The adviser sent message after message: "he loves you," "he says hi," "he feels bad about the [donor advised fund] btw He thought great idea but wife wouldn't allow."³
Gates wasn't keeping his distance from a convicted sex offender.
He was pining for him like a teenager with a crush.
And the only reason Gates didn't reconnect? Melinda Gates put her foot down.
Epstein even tried recruiting Kathryn Ruemmler — Obama's former White House counsel who now works at Goldman Sachs — to change Melinda's mind.⁴
Epstein told the adviser Ruemmler "would love to sit with Melinda and give her the other side of Jeffrey."⁵
Think about that.
A convicted pedophile was strategizing how to manipulate Bill Gates' wife into letting her husband hang out with him again.
Every Story Gates Told About Epstein Just Collapsed
Gates has been lying about Epstein for years — and now we have proof.
Back in 2019, Gates looked straight into the camera and said "I didn't have any business relationship or friendship with him."⁶
Complete garbage.
Flight logs proved Gates flew on Epstein's private jet.
Epstein's calendar showed repeated meetings at his homes in Manhattan, Palm Beach, and Paris.
Former staffers said Gates told them Epstein's mansion was "a respite from his marriage."⁷
By 2021, Gates couldn't deny it anymore and called the relationship a "huge mistake."⁸
But these new texts reveal something far more disturbing.
Gates wasn't some naive billionaire who got duped by a smooth-talking con man.
He actively wanted to maintain the relationship in 2017 — a full four years after Melinda made crystal clear she wanted nothing to do with Epstein.⁹
Melinda met Epstein in 2013 at his Manhattan townhouse and immediately told friends how uncomfortable and disturbed she felt.¹⁰
She knew exactly what kind of monster he was.
Bill didn't care.
He kept the relationship going behind her back for years.
Melinda Knew The Truth And Bill Made Her Pay For It
The timeline tells you everything about Bill Gates' character.
2013: Melinda meets Epstein, immediately recognizes he's dangerous, tells Bill she wants nothing to do with him.¹¹
2017: Bill is still trying to reconnect with Epstein behind Melinda's back.
2021: Bill and Melinda divorce after 27 years of marriage.¹²
When Melinda sat down with CBS News in 2023, she made it clear: "I did not like that he'd had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no."¹³
She also told reporters to ask Bill whether he cheated on her during their marriage.
Bill refused to answer.¹⁴
You know why he won't answer?
Because the truth would destroy what's left of his carefully crafted image as a benevolent tech genius saving the world.
Multiple sources said Bill's meetings with Epstein were his escape from Melinda — that going to Epstein's mansion let him get away from his wife.¹⁵
One person described Gates and Epstein as "very close."¹⁶
When your marriage is so miserable you're using a convicted pedophile's house as your safe space, something is very wrong with you.
Trump Just Forced The Reckoning Gates Feared For Years
President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law, and Bill Gates should be terrified.¹⁷
The legislation passed the House 427-1 and sailed through the Senate unanimously.¹⁸
Attorney General Pam Bondi now has 30 days to release every unclassified document the Justice Department has on Epstein.¹⁹
Everything.
Flight logs, meeting records, financial transactions, communications with government officials — all of it goes public in a searchable database.²⁰
The law specifically requires disclosure of "all government officials and politically exposed persons" connected to Epstein's crimes, settlements, or investigations.²¹
And here's the kicker: no records can be hidden because of "embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity."²²
For decades, the elite protected each other.
The media ran interference for people like Gates, Larry Summers, and Bill Clinton.
They told us these were just innocent meetings about philanthropy and academic research.
These were lies, but no one could prove it.
Trump just ripped that protection away.
Summers already cracked under pressure — he announced he's withdrawing from public life after his Epstein emails came out.²³
The former Treasury Secretary and Harvard president resigned from OpenAI's board and told CNN he was "deeply ashamed."²⁴
Harvard opened an investigation into him after it was revealed he contacted Epstein for advice on women.
Senator Elizabeth Warren called for every institution to cut ties with him.²⁵
If Summers is running for cover over emails, imagine what Gates is facing when the full Justice Department files drop.
Gates still hasn't commented on these new text messages.
He's probably huddled with lawyers right now trying to figure out damage control.
But there's no spinning your way out of this one, Bill.
The American people are about to learn exactly why you spent years lying about Jeffrey Epstein — and what you were really doing at his mansion all those times you claimed were about "philanthropy."
