Bill Gates names three women he had affairs with in Epstein testimony about blackmail fears

Microsoft co-founder told House Oversight Committee he believes disgraced financier was plotting to extort him, newly-released transcript reveals

Bill Gates has named three women he had affairs with, claiming Jeffrey Epstein wanted to blackmail him over the infidelities.

The Microsoft co-founder told the House Oversight Committee the pedophile had never succeeded in extorting him but that “it looks like Mr Epstein’s brainstorming was going in that direction.”

In a newly-published transcript (PDF) of Gates’ testimony to the panel on June 10, the tech billionaire admitted to affairs with two Russian women - bridge player Mila Antonova and nuclear physicist Karima Nigmatulina - and with medical entrepreneur Dr Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt.

He denied ever witnessing or participating in any sexual misconduct in Epstein’s company but acknowledged that he may have unwittingly found himself “in the presence of victims” after being introduced to him in 2011 by his former employee Dr Boris Nikolic, a mutual friend.


Gates said he believed Nikolic may have told Epstein about two of the affairs.
