Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has acknowledged having affairs with three women, including Russian nuclear physicist Karima Nigmatulina, during closed-door testimony before a US congressional committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein. Gates also identified Russian bridge player Mila Antonova and medical entrepreneur Dr. Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt. According to testimony transcripts, Gates said Epstein became aware of some of the relationships and appeared to consider using the information as leverage. Gates, however, maintained that he was never blackmailed and denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities. He described his association with Epstein as a mistake and said he witnessed no illegal conduct. (PC: WION)
