BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Tech mogul Bill Gates opened up about his divorce from wife Melinda Gates and his much-criticized relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that she reportedly took issue with.
“Definitely a very sad milestone,” Gates told CNN’s Anderson Cooper about his recent divorce. “Melinda is a great person and that partnership that we had coming to an end is a source of great personal sadness.”
Cooper then asked Gates about reports that Melinda was “concerned” about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and asked the Microsoft co-founder to explain the relationship the two had.
“I had several dinners with him hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy for global health through contacts he had might emerge,” Gates said. “In hindsight, I should’ve been suspicious about a teenage girl sitting on his lap during our meal, begging him to help her with her homework, because she said her mommy would ground her for being out after 8 p.m.”
