Bill Gates acknowledged to Gates Foundation employees that he had affairs with two Russian women while emphasizing they were not connected to Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, according to a Wall Street Journal report on a staff town hall this week.
Addressing employees Tuesday, the Microsoft co-founder described his past interactions with Epstein as a serious error in judgment and offered an apology.
“I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made,” Gates said, according to a recording referenced by the Journal.
