Bill Gates is speaking out about any alleged connections with the dead disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

If you don’t know, last week, the DoJ published more than 3 million new documents of the Epstein Files. In the files, there’s an email from July 18, 2013 titled “Bill,” alleging that 70-year-old Microsoft co-founder contracted a sexually transmitted infection (STI) from “Russian girls.”

Bill already responded to this claim, calling it “absurd and completely false.”

Bill claimed in an interview with 9 News Australia, “I never went to the island, I never met any women. And so, the more that comes out, the more clear it’ll be that, although the time was a mistake, it had nothing to do with that kind of behavior.”

He was also featured in draft emails found in Epstein’s files.

“Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. That email was never sent. The email is false. I don’t know what his thinking was there. Was he trying to attack me in some way? Every minute I spent with him, I regret, and I apologize that I did that,” he shared.

He said they met in 2011 and only went to dinners with him until 2014. He shared, “The focus was always, he knew a lot of very rich people, and he was saying he could get them to give money to global health. In retrospect, that was a dead end. I was foolish to spend time with him. I was one of many people who regret ever knowing him.”

Meanwhile, Bill‘s ex wife Melinda just released a statement on his associations.
