Bill Gates acknowledged having “several” meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in prison, that he says he now regrets.
Gates, 65 told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he made a huge mistake by “trusting” Epstein’s character and admitted that he had several dinners with him.
He said his relationship with Epstein came to an end following a series of meetings in 2011, three years after Epstein’s conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.
“I had several dinners with him, you know, hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy for global health through contacts that he had might emerge,” Gates told anchor Anderson Cooper.
“When it looked like that wasn’t a real thing, that relationship ended, but it was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of, you know, being there. There were lots of others in that same situation, but I made a mistake,” he added.

Now, as we said, many millionaires, like Trump, had their interactions with Epstein, but what’s odd is that Trump was crucified just for having a couple of photo’s standing next to Epstein, but the left seems to barely bat an eyelash at Bill Gates having full-blown, weekly dinners with the guy…and you know that there’s way more to this than he’s saying.
Here’s an excerpt from the Washington Examiner report:
Bill Gates acknowledged having “several” meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in prison, that he says he now regrets.
The Microsoft co-founder was asked to explain his relationship with Epstein, a wealthy financier, and what concerns he had during an interview Wednesday on CNN.
“I had several dinners with him, you know, hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy for global health through contacts that he had might emerge,” Gates told anchor Anderson Cooper.
“When it looked like that wasn’t a real thing, that relationship ended, but it was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of, you know, being there. There were lots of others in that same situation, but I made a mistake,” he added.
This is a very obvious double standard of the Dems, but I am no longer surprised about this, without double standard Dems have no standard at all.
