Bill Gates denies false claims in leaked documents alleging he sought STI treatment linked to Epstein.

Bill Gates has denied allegations in newly released Justice Department documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, calling claims that he contracted a sexually transmitted disease from Russian women and sought antibiotics for his then-wife Melinda "absolutely absurd and completely false." The documents, part of a 3.5 million-page release, include draft emails Epstein wrote to himself alleging Gates sought medication to secretly protect Melinda and citing a marital dispute involving former adviser Boris Nikolic. Gates’ spokesperson said the claims reflect Epstein’s frustration and fabrications. The release includes photos of Gates with Epstein and others, and Melinda cited Epstein ties as a factor in their 2021 divorce. The Justice Department has not verified the allegations’ accuracy.
