Jeffrey Epstein Threatened To Expose Bill Gates’ Infidelity: Report

A new report from The Wall Street Journal unveiled that Jeffrey Epstein threatened to expose Bill Gates' infidelity with a Russian bridge player unless Gates agreed to become a lead donor to a multibillion-dollar charitable fund.

Mila Antonova was in her 20s when Gates met her in 2010 — with the Microsoft co-founder 30 years her senior.

The Daily Wire has more, including how Epstein likely discovered Gates' affair:

Epstein met Antonova in 2013 and paid for her to attend software coding school. After she graduated, and while Epstein was trying to get Gates to join a project he was working on, Epstein reportedly sent Gates an email asking to be reimbursed for her schooling.

The amount of money the schooling cost was trivial for people as wealthy as Epstein or Gates, the report said.

Sources told the publication that the email implied that Epstein could expose the affair if Gates cut off his ties to Epstein.

A spokesperson for Gates confirmed the report but denied that Epstein's attempts to leverage his knowledge of Gates were successful.

Despite pleading guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution, Epstein's standing with the rich and powerful remained largely intact until he was arrested again on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors.

Many believe Epstein oversaw an extensive blackmail operation to pressure politicians, business magnates, scholars and celebrities if their relationships with him soured.

Gates had scheduled over a dozen meetings with Epstein starting in 2011, three years after the wealthy financier pleaded guilty to sex crimes.

Gates, one of the world's wealthiest and most influential men, has long denied having a meaningful relationship with Epstein.

In contrast, Gates' ex-wife, Melinda, confirmed his relationship with Epstein played a role in their marriage's demise.
