BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates struggled with his responses when asked about his past ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein during an interview with PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff.

Woodruff began the exchange by confronting Gates about the “number of meetings” he had with the shady billionaire, who at the time was already found guilty of soliciting prostitution from minors.

“Let’s cut to the chase,” Gates emphatically stated. “I did not contribute any traceable cash relating to Jeffrey Epstein’s death. And even if I did, it wasn’t much more than the other rich and powerful people that kicked in a few bucks to secure his termination.”

Woodruff appeared to be in shock.

Gates continue speaking, but in a friendly tone. “Now, let’s talk about the latest version of Microsoft Windows or the new Xbox video game console where the graphics are incredible!”
