The latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files released by the US Department of Justice alleges that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates contracted a sexually transmitted disease after sleeping with Russian women.
The files go on to say that Gates had to take antibiotics 'secretly' and give them to his then-wife, Melinda Gates, as well.
Though the allegations have not been verified, the claims appear in emails Epstein wrote to himself in 2013. These, along with hundreds of documents, were released by the DoJ on Friday.
Refuting the allegations, a spokesperson for Gates said they were completely false and absurd. "The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame," the spokesperson told the Daily Mail.

Along with the documents, over 2,000 videos and 1,80,000 images were also released by the Justice Department.
The latest allegations released were emails dated July 18, 2013, which show draft messages and also the voice of Gates's then-adviser, Boris Nikolic.
Epstein accused Gates of "sleeping with Russian girls", contracting an STD, and asking for antibiotics that could be "surreptitiously" given to Melinda Gates. Epstein also claimed that Gates asked him to delete the emails relating to it.
After the Justice Department released the emails, unseen pictures of Gates with a woman were circulated on social media. However, the authenticity of the images could not be verified.
The draft emails also criticised Gates for ending the relationship with Epstein after six years of association. Epstein also alleged that he had been asked to participate in behaviour ranging from morally inappropriate to ethically unsound.
Earlier, Gates had said that he regretted his association with Epstein, who died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
