Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has admitted that his interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were “a huge mistake”. “ 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. When it looked like that was not a real thing, that relationship ended,” Mr Gates told CNN News. “It was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of being there,” he said. “You know, there were lots of others in that same situation, but I made a mistake,” he added. The relationship the tech billionaire had with Epstein has been under the scanner for a while, with numerous media reports, some without clear evidence, making a wide range of claims. Some reports said Mr Gates confided in Epstein about his toxic marriage, while others claimed Epstein’s involvement in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
