Newly unsealed messages from Jeffrey Epstein’s files reveal his persistent attempts to worm his way back into Bill Gates’ inner circle, even as Gates’ then-wife Melinda stood firmly against it. The 2017 texts, part of a trove released by Congress on November 13, show Epstein communicating with an unnamed adviser to Gates about a proposed donor-advised fund that could offer tax benefits for charitable giving.
In one exchange, the adviser relayed Gates’ interest but Melinda’s veto: “He wants to talk to you but his wife won’t let him.” The messages continue with “he loves you,” “he says hi,” and “he feels bad about the [donor advised fund] btw He thought great idea but wife wouldn’t allow.”
There has been ongoing speculation that Gates and Epstein were more than just business acquaintances. Gates is recorded as flying with Epstein on many occasions, including to his infamous island. Rumors point to Gates’ relationship with Epstein—and perhaps girls at the island—as the primary reason Melinda divorced one of the richest and most public men on earth.
Epstein pushed for a meeting involving Kathryn Ruemmler, a former Obama White House counsel now at Goldman Sachs, to sway Melinda. He suggested Ruemmler “would love to sit with Melinda and give her the other side of Jeffrey.” That pitch never led to anything, and the fund idea fizzled out.
These revelations come amid Epstein’s documented meetings with Gates, tied to the billionaire’s global health initiatives where he sought big-money donors and influential connections. Gates has downplayed the association in the past, stating in 2019, “I didn’t have any business relationship or friendship with him,” and later calling the time spent with Epstein a “huge mistake.” The couple divorced in 2021 after 27 years.
The document dump precedes the Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed overwhelmingly by the House (427-1) and Senate, then signed into law by President Trump on November 19. While the Gates-focused messages expose the elite networks Epstein maintained after his 2008 conviction, other parts of the release—selectively dropped by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee—reference Trump in ways that tried to connect him to Epstein. Those drops have proven to be ineffective as the victim referenced was the late Virginia Giuffre who acknowledged President Trump did nothing wrong.
Meanwhile, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, a Clinton-era figure and ex-Harvard president, announced he’s withdrawing from public life following the emergence of his own Epstein communications, expressing deep shame.
With the full Justice Department files now mandated for release—minus certain protections—the public may soon uncover more about how powerful figures navigated Epstein’s web, and why some truths stayed buried for so long.
