Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has reportedly admitted before the US House Oversight Committee that he had three extramarital affairs during his marriage. According to documents released as part of the renewed investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's network and connections, Gates acknowledged that Epstein was aware of two of those relationships and had allegedly considered using the information against him. The disclosure came during Gates' voluntary appearance before the committee on June 10. The panel is currently examining Epstein's associates and the influence he may have had over prominent figures. According to the information presented, Bill Gates admitted to relationships with three women — Russian bridge player Mila Antonova, Russian nuclear scientist Karima Nigmatulina, and medical entrepreneur Dr. Alice Jacobs Nesselrod. Gates also acknowledged that maintaining contact with Jeffrey Epstein was a mistake. Recently released documents from the US Justice Department have renewed scrutiny over Gates' past interactions with Epstein. In his statement, Gates said Epstein was fully aware of his relationships with two Russian women and had allegedly thought about blackmailing him. However, Gates claimed that Epstein never got the opportunity to use the information against him. During his testimony, Gates strongly denied having any involvement in Epstein's criminal activities. He maintained that although his association with Epstein was an error in judgment, he had no connection to the crimes for which Epstein was accused. Gates also confirmed his relationship with medical entrepreneur Alice Jacobs Nesselrod while reiterating that he had no role in any of Epstein's illegal conduct.
