Melinda went on CBS and did this whole interview, and she said she was upset with Bill's past meetings with Epstein.

So it's kind of like the Epstein stuff is continuing to dribble out a little bit.

Bill Gates' team, behind the scenes in 2023, is actually preparing for yet another Netflix documentary.

What I learned from reporting this after is that the Netflix documentary was another tool in their very vast toolkit to help burnish his reputation.

But I learned that while the project was pitched to staff as an independent documentary, some of these internal records and reporting revealed that there was quite a bit of involvement by the Gates empire.

One was, quote, some of the people in this episode have to go completely, end quote.

And when I did some reporting on people that have worked on documentaries with, you know, celebrities or powerful people, I was told that that is extremely rare to go to that length.

Another request was, quote, we all strongly ask again that you change the sour look Bill has on his face at the end shot.

Ultimately, the files included more than 1,000 emails connecting back to Bill Gates, the foundation, or people that work for him.

And in particular, it also showed hundreds of messages that were between Epstein and two of Bill's closest associates over the years that went back a number of years all the way to 2019, the year that Epstein died.

It is a huge sea change.

All of a sudden his influence is diminishing.

That's next.

There were a lot of new questions that showed this seemed to go much further than philanthropy.

Turns out Epstein traveled with and introduced Gates to the head of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

Epstein was involved in negotiations between Gates' employees and Gates himself.

And Gates posed for photos that were released with Epstein and women around Epstein, and their faces were redacted.

Yeah.

Now, Bill has said that the women around Epstein, those meetings occurred, the photos occurred before or after their meetings, that he didn't talk to those women.

The DOJ files also showed that Epstein knew about some of Gates' alleged affairs.
