Bill Gates tells Congress Jeffrey Epstein used his affairs as ‘leverage’ to keep billionaire close
NYP ^ | 06 10 2026 | Josh Christenson and Ally Goelz

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates told a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday that Jeffrey Epstein used Gates’ marital infidelities as “leverage” to keep the billionaire in Epstein’s circle.

In a prepared opening statement, Gates told committee members that he “never witnessed nor had any indication that Epstein was engaged in ongoing criminal conduct.”

“I never went to his island, his ranch, or his Florida home. I have never victimized anyone. While he may have sought to foster a personal relationship, I was never interested in that and never reciprocated,” he went on.

But the philanthropist also disclosed that the late pedophile learned of Gates having “been unfaithful in my marriage” and sought “to use information about my infidelities — in addition to many lies that he layered on top — to pressure me to re-engage with him.”

“He was unsuccessful in this effort, but it shows some of the ways he tried to leverage his interactions with me to further his agenda,” Gates added.

Epstein, a blackmailer? Who could ever have guessed that?

Hey Bill...a good way to avoid this is to stay faithful to your wife.

Most guys wouldn’t. They’re too weak and at some point it comes out.

Same way that many Drug Dealers operate long term.
The customer’s addiction becomes the choke chain, by which they are led in different directions the Dealer chooses to go in.

Though not for a while, I’ve been victimized by the BSOD.

Modified limited hangout at its finest .

Gates is in serious trouble and I’m not sure he has enough money to buy his way out of this one.

I would like to know how many underage girls were victimized by Epstein and not yet compensated already with signed NDA‘s? When I think of the number of DOJ man hours used to comb through 3 million pages of documents when they should be investigating real crimes, especially by the Democrats in the past 10 years, I’m very frustrated. The statue of limitations is running out on so many crimes by the Dems.

Gates personally confirms the extortion and blackmail that Epstein no doubt exercised against countless others, and there’s also no doubt that Epstein’s wealth [such as it might have been] was a direct result of blackmail payments disguised as payments for “investment advise”, since gazillionaires have so little investment resources available to them that they have to make YUGE payments for “investment advise” to a scumbag like Epstein ... the only real questions are whether Epstein was his own player or whether and who were his handlers ...

Old saying.

Keep your sexual deviant pals close and your child trafficking sex addicted perverts closer.

One woman said of Epstein: “He had all those girls whenever he wanted. As soon as he had just finished with one he couldn’t stop himself from looking for another one. He was never at peace.”

Gates used his influence with the DOJ to blame Trump.

Plausible deniability. A ... tactic that allows individuals ...to deny knowledge or responsibility for actions due to a lack of evidence or multiple interpretations of the evidence. It is often used to avoid accountability...

Gates and his lawyers have had quite a while to concoct a plausibly deniable tale that makes him somehow innocent of traveling to pedo island and a (ha ha) "victim" at the same time.

True or false?

You decide.

I happen to be more than a little skeptical.
