US Department of Justice releases millions of Epstein documents containing allegations about Bill Gates and Donald Trump.
New Epstein Documents Released
On Friday, the US Department of Justice published three million pages of documents, along with thousands of recordings and photos regarding Jeffrey Epstein. The Donald Trump administration emphasized that the publication aims to end speculation and accusations surrounding the case of the financier accused of exploiting minors.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch informed that besides documents, 2,000 video recordings and approximately 180,000 images were made available. The publication occurred several weeks after the December 19 deadline set by Congress for submitting materials.
Donald Trump Mentioned Hundreds of Times
Among other things, the documents contain unverified reports submitted to law enforcement, as well as mentions of famous individuals who maintained contacts with Epstein. The documents include names such as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
According to BBC, Donald Trump’s name appears in the documents hundreds of times. The Department of Justice emphasized that “some documents contain false and sensational claims against President Trump, which were submitted to the FBI shortly before the 2020 elections.”
Bill Gates and “Russian Girls” References
The documents also include Bill Gates’ name. One report suggests that the Microsoft CEO contracted a sexually transmitted disease during sexual intercourse with “Russian girls.” BBC notes that such a suggestion appeared in unsigned emails with no evidence they were sent to Gates.
Media speculate these are draft versions of messages. One suggests the billionaire hid the disease from his wife Melinda and someone helped him buy medication to “deal with the consequences of sex with Russian girls.”
The billionaire’s spokesperson responded: “These claims – coming from a frustrated liar – are completely absurd and false.” He added that the revealed documents show “Epstein’s frustration related to the lack of lasting relationships with Gates,” as well as his need to defame the Microsoft CEO.
