NEW: Bill Gates says he regrets every minute he spent with Jeffrey Epstein, denies STD cover up allegation. The comment comes after Gates’ ex-wife, Melinda Gates, said he had to answer for what was in the Epstein files. “I never went to the island, I never met any women, and so the more that comes out, the more clear it'll be that although the time was a mistake, it had nothing to do with that kind of behavior.” The new Epstein drop alleged Gates was planning on secretly giving his wife antibiotics after contracting an STI from “Russian girls.”
