The US Department of Justice (DOJ) published over 3 million additional pages related to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law by US President Donald Trump on November 19, 2025. As part of the latest collection dropped online, more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images were included in the additional publication.
Combining the prior releases, Friday’s production brought the total to nearly 3.5 million pages released in compliance with the act.
While the files go on to drop names of powerful figures that have already been mentioned in the previous releases, some new information still managed to slip through the cracks. Despite the thousands of redactions in the document, certain bombshell allegations surfaced to the top. Explosive claims particularly surrounding the likes of billionaire Bill Gates grabbed quite the attention this week.
Among some of the most shocking revelations, which the Microsoft founder’s side has since vehemently denied, Gates has been accused of engaging in multiple extramarital affairs during his marriage with his former wife, Melinda French Gates. The pages released this week further shed light on emails convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein allegedly penned about Gates and his fractured relationship with Melinda.
At one point, Gates has even been accused of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, presumably from one of his alleged “illicit trysts” outside his marriage with Melinda.
According to the New York Times, Epstein sent the email from July 2013 to himself, but it remains unclear whether they were sent to Bill Gates. Here are some of the shocking claims about the tech icon from the newly released Epstein files.
‘Drugs for Melina Gates’: Epstein’s emails
Among the several emails exposed by the DOJ on Friday, one such alleged email from 2013 captured Epstein writing about his ties with foundations led by Bill Gates. Writing on behalf of Gates’ longtime science advisor, Boris Nikolic, announcing his intent to leave the foundation, the deceased pedophile and sex offender said in the email: “I have decided to resign my position effective immediately with BG3 and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,” as per the New York Post.
He further claimed in the email that as an associate of Gates, he had been asked to do things that were “potentially over the line into the illegal” and “that have ranged from the morally inappropriate to the ethically unsound.” The typo-ridden email noted Epstein saying attributing his exit having been “caught up in a severe martial dispute between Melinda and Bill,” as per the New York Times.
While posing as Nikolic, Epstein further wrote the “ethically unsound” things the Microsoft founder made him do included alleged requests about providing him with “antibiotics” Gates could “surreptitiously give to Melinda.”
As quoted by the New York Times, the email draft also spoke out about Melinda potentially divorcing Bill Gates at the time. “I am concerned that if Melinda decides as you said to file for a public divorce, the damage done to the pledge program alone would result in billions of dollars of money no longer being used for social good as Im [sic] sure that some wives and husbands would feel free to retreat from their commitment,” Epstein wrote in the email.
Bill Gates engaged in extramarital affairs
One of the alleged emails – which Epstein wrote in the style of a journal entry, suggested that Gates had also asked for help to acquire drugs “in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls,” as per the NY Post.
While still writing in Nikolic’s voice in July 2014, Epstein claimed that the longtime advisory had even helped him to “facilictating [sic] his illicit trysts, with married women, to being asked to provide adderall [for] bridge [tournaments].”
Epstein accused Bill Gates of ‘cover up’ after ‘std’ claim
In a different email draft, Epstein continued writing as Nikolic, as he accused the Microsoft founder of crafting a “cover up [sic] so that you can maintain the reputation that you have worked so hard to achieve.”
Therein, the sex offender added, “[You] implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std [sic], your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis.”
The Wall Street Journal had previously reported that Epstein had once threatened to expose Gates’ alleged affair with Mila Antonova, a Russian bridge player, in 2017. The threat purportedly arose out of Bill’s refusal to join charitable fund Epstein began with JP Morgan Chase.
New pictures of Bill Gates
The DOJ’s Friday release disclosed some new pictures of the Microsoft mogul. One featured the billionaire standing next to a woman whose face has been redacted.
In another picture (also previously released), which was allegedly taken by Epstein, shows the late financier and Gates at Microsoft’s Seattle-based headquarters in March 2014. As per the NY Post, both encounters happened after Epstein registered as a sex offender on charges related to soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008.
Gates spokesperson breaks silence
A Gates spokesperson has since vehemently denied the claims emerging in the newly released files. Speaking to the NYT and the Daily Mail, the rep branded the claims “absurd and completely false.”
“The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame,” they added.
In the same year (2021) as Melinda and Bill Gates got divorced, the Microsoft founder spoke out about his ties with Epstein. “It was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of being there,” he said at the time.
Gates has repeatedly reiterated that his past relationship (which began around 2011 after Epstein had been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor) stemmed from philanthropic efforts.
Meanwhile, in 2022, Melinda Gates said elsewhere in an interview that she did not like her ex-husband’s meetings with Epstein. “I made that clear to him,” she added, while admitting that she had crossed paths with Epstein once because she “wanted to see who” he was.”
“I regretted it the second I walked in the door,” she said of finally crossing paths with Epstein. “He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. My heart breaks for these women.”
