The cat is finally out of the bag.
New details have emerged from Bill Gates’ recent testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
Gates testified before the committee on June 10th as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
During one part of his testimony Gates’ revealed he cheated on his wife with three women.
Yahoo News provided the names of the three women:
Bill Gates named three women he had extramarital affairs with as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein by US politicians.
The billionaire Microsoft co-founder told the House oversight committee that he had affairs with two Russian women, naming them as Mila Antonova, a bridge player, and Karima Nigmatulina, a nuclear physicist.
Mr Gates later admitted to a third extramarital affair with another female scientist following scrutiny from US congressmen during the hours-long testimony on June 10, a transcript published on Tuesday revealed.
The businessman, formerly the richest man in the world, has always denied ever seeing any of convicted pedophile Epstein’s abuse and said it was “a mistake to spend time with him”.
Questioned by US congressmen, Mr Gates again denied any sexual misconduct but agreed he “may have been in the presence of victims” unknowingly while meeting Epstein, given that some of the women and girls had been employed by the disgraced financier.
He also said it was “possible” that he had confided in a mutual friend of his and Epstein’s that he feared he may have caught a sexually transmitted disease from one of the women.

Here’s part of the transcript of Gates’ testimony before Congress:
Congressman is (Q for Question) and Gates is (A for answer):
Q Did anyone ever raise concerns to you about Mr. Epstein with regard to that conviction
or anything else in 2011?A Well, throughout the time I spent with Epstein, the concern about his reputation was
voiced by me and by other people, so there was an awareness that he had a bad reputation
stemming from his criminal conviction.Q And are you saying you were aware of these concerns early on or are you describing conversations that occurred later in your relationship with Mr. Epstein?
A I’d say both.Q So you were aware he had a bad reputation and he had some sort of sex-related
conviction at the time you first entered into contact with him?
A That’s right.Q What were your first impressions of Mr. Epstein?
A Well, he talked about a lot of scientists that he would talk to or business leaders hewould talk to, and he made that sound fairly extensive, you know, across a wide range of topics. So he seemed like he was a bit of a dilettante.
Q What do you mean by that?
A Somebody who focuses time on a large number of subject areas and new people who
are deeply engaged in those areas.ADVERTISEMENTQ So he made a good impression?
A You know, he’s kind of a unique person even, you know, based on the limited knowledge I have — had at the time. It was kind of a unique thing to have this large house in
Manhattan and to mention quite a wide range of people from both business and academic areas. I
would say, you know, I thought he was unusual.Q Who else was with you at this first dinner you had with Mr. Epstein in 2011?
A For the dinner itself, just Dr. Nikolic.
Q Were other people traveling with you for that? Is that what you meant?
A No.
Q So at the dinner, you were with Dr. Nikolic, Mr. Epstein, and nobody else was at the
dinner?A That’s right.
Q What did you understand his job or career to be when you met him?
A I’m not sure if it was that night, but over time, he suggested that he provided tax advice and advice on wills to a wide variety of people, both from Wall Street, from the Middle East, you know, that he was in a position of trust with a number of wealthy people.
Q And you said you didn’t get the sense he was offering you any kind of service, so he wasn’t offering you tax or estate services of any kind?
A No. There came a time later where he brought up that, you know, he could help on taxes, and I rather sternly rebuffed that effort.
ADVERTISEMENTQ Sure. And we can get more into that a little bit later. So at this point, meeting him for the first time in 2011, did you understand him to already be wealthy at that point?
A Well, certainly the — you know, the — just the house alone represented a significant amount of wealth. I’d never seen — I don’t think to this day I’ve seen a private house in Manhattan that’s quite that spacious.
Q Did you have any idea at that time how he had acquired his money?
A No. To this day, I find that a bit confusing.
Q And, again, we’ll get a little bit deeper into your interactions with Mr. Epstein later, but just for now, could you briefly characterize the nature of the relationship that you had with Mr. Epstein between 2011 and 2014? Was he a friend? Was he a business associate?
A No, he certainly wasn’t a friend. You know, he made an effort to extend the relationship with various invitations, but, you know, he — eventually, you know, as I talked about my
work in global health for the Gates Foundation, he suggested that he could raise substantial amounts
of money from people that he knew to help with that endeavor, and that became the primary focus
out in 2013. 2011, we just had, you know, two dinners, one where it was with Jes Staley and Larry Summers, one where he was just dropping by. So, you know, three encounters in 2011. Then over a year passes and I see him twice in late 2012. And then it’s in I think spring 2013
where this purported availability of people who when they would sit and talk about their wills, their taxes, that as part of that process they would realize they had a significant amount of excess money and hopefully they would want to give that philanthropically and hopefully they would consider giving that to global health. And so he — that became the focus in spring of 2013.Q So you said he would give invitations for things. Were these social functions or philanthropic or otherwise?
A No, they weren’t social. I mean, there was one time at the end of a dinner, David Blaine came, and so that was a lighter thing. He’s a magician. But the meetings were always about the world and, you know, what was going on. Obviously, when somebody like Larry Summers or Jes Staley is there, they’re talking about what they see in the world, what they expect, so it’s a wide ranging discussion.
Q So did you ever socialize with Jeffrey Epstein?
A Not — no, I would not say I was socializing with him. I was at a dinner where a wide range of serious topics came up. When he, for example, invited me to come to his island, that would have been socializing, and that — I didn’t do that. You know, one time in Paris he asked me to go to a show and I said that would not be a good idea. I chose not to do that.
Q So he did invite you to a couple of social functions and you just rejected them?
A He did many things to try and deepen the relationship, including the various invitations.
ADVERTISEMENTQ Did you ever discuss sexual behavior of any kind with Jeffrey Epstein?
A No.
Q Did you ever witness Jeffrey Epstein engaging in sexual contact of any kind?
A No.
Q Did you ever witness Epstein receive a massage from a young woman or a girl?
A No.
Q Were there often young women or girls at the places where you would meet with
Epstein?A No. The only time anyone who was I’d call a girl was around was, after that first dinner, Eva Dubin came and she had her daughter with her. Other than that, there were no young women at any of the times I saw Epstein.
Q So none of his — a number of Epstein’s employees, we understand, were younger women. Did you ever meet any of those people?
A I was not introduced to them, but, you know, like, when you go to the New York thing, I think they open the door. Jeffrey — Mr. Epstein had what appeared to be administrative assistants with him, and the extent of my contact with them was that, you know, they were there. As I would go into a meeting, they never attended any meeting that I was in. There were several occasions where Mr. Epstein asked me to be photographed with them at the end of the meeting. I was not introduced to them as part of that. That was quite brief. One of the admins stayed when David
Blaine did one of his tricks, so she was standing around then. And there was also a time when I took a flight from Newark to Palm Beach and Jeffrey had two admin assistants with him who sat in the front cabin, but so I saw them as I walked on to the plane and as I walked off of the plane. And so other than the admins who were around, you know, who appeared to be women, I believe they did not look to be underage. I think I fully described any contact with the women around Epstein.Q Thank you. Did you ever engage in sexual contact of any kind in the presence of Jeffrey Epstein?
A No.
Q Did you ever engage in sexual contact with a person introduced to you by or affiliated
with Jeffrey Epstein?A No.
Q Did Jeffrey Epstein or any of his associates ever offer you a young woman or girl for the
purposes of sex?A No.
Q Did you ever receive a massage that was arranged by Jeffrey Epstein or any of his staff
or associates?A No.
