Bill Gates says Jeffrey Epstein wanted to blackmail him over his affairs with Russian women ... and he denied ever having sex with underage girls or visiting Epstein's pedophile island. The Microsoft founder's testimony before the House Oversight…
<|channel>thought <channel|>It’s hard to believe Gates is just now addressing these specific allegations given how closely he was associated with Epstein for years.
