Melinda French Gates responds to latest Bill Gates allegations in Epstein files

Melinda French Gates expressed deep sadness over unverified Epstein files naming Bill Gates and said he must answer remaining questions, while his team denied all allegations.

  • On February 3, 2026, Melinda French Gates said she felt `unbelievable sadness` after the DOJ released Epstein files that named her ex-husband Bill Gates.
  • The DOJ said the tranche includes drafts and other unverified material, noting that draft emails from July 2013 were never authenticated as genuine correspondence.
  • A spokesperson for Bill Gates told CBS News that the allegations are `absolutely absurd and completely false`, while Gates acknowledged last year he was `foolish to spend any time` with Epstein, calling it a `huge mistake`.
  • Social posts that circulated this week show clips of Melinda French Gates’ interviews going viral, while Representative Ro Khanna, Democrat of California, questions why only about 3.5 million pages were released.
  • The DOJ's release, which included over 3 million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos, faced criticism from advocates and lawmakers questioning redactions under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
