The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has published another large tranche of documents tied to the Jeffrey Epstein case, releasing millions of pages of investigative material, including emails, drafts, and unverified notes. While the files were made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, many entries contain old complaints, draft emails, and unsubstantiated claims rather than verified evidence.
Among the hundreds of thousands of pages are unverified allegations involving Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, suggesting he contracted a sexually transmitted disease after encounters with “Russian girls” and sought antibiotics to conceal it from his then-wife. The documents also include references to complaints submitted to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) that list Donald Trump and others, but investigators stress these tips were never verified as factual.
Epstein Files Released: What the Bill Gates Allegations Say?
In the newly published files, there are screenshots and draft email text believed to have been written by Epstein, in which he alleged personal encounters involving Bill Gates, “Russian girls,” and an STD, along with requests for antibiotics to hide the situation from Melinda Gates.
These passages appear in draft writings and notes attributed to Epstein, not in any formal complaint, police report, or legal filing. Legal experts caution that these kinds of draft notes are some of the least reliable content in the vast release — they were not submitted to authorities and have not been validated.
Epstein Files Released: Bill Gates Denies Allegations
A spokesperson for Bill Gates responded firmly to the claims in the documents, saying they are untrue and unfounded. “‘These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false,’” the spokesperson said, adding that what the documents show is more reflective of Epstein’s own frustrations than any factual account.
Gates has previously acknowledged meeting Epstein a handful of times, describing those meetings as a serious personal error. But he has denied any wrongdoing, and there is no evidence from law enforcement or court records supporting the specific allegations in the documents.
DOJ Says Some Files Contain “Untrue or Sensationalist” Claims
The Justice Department has warned that the newly released documents may include “fake or falsely submitted images, documents, or videos,” since the files reflect a wide range of information submitted to the FBI by members of the public. Some complaints reportedly date back decades and were never verified or investigated beyond their initial intake.
The DOJ emphasized that inclusion in the files does not mean an allegation has been proven or that an individual is under investigation. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has said that some submissions contain “untrue and sensationalist claims” that are not backed by evidence and would have already been used legally if credible.
Epstein Files Released: What Types of Documents Were Released
The newly released files include:
- Draft emails and notes attributed to Jeffrey Epstein
- Screenshots of alleged email exchanges
- Public complaints submitted to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center
- Spreadsheet summaries of tips mentioning high-profile names
- Other unverified statements from unidentified sources
Officials say the material was published to meet legal requirements under the Transparency Act, even if the content itself has no substantiated value in court or official investigations.
Epstein Files Released: Accusations Against Donald Trump and Other Figures
Alongside the Gates-related material, portions of the files include references to Donald Trump, President Bill Clinton, and others, but these too are tied to unsubstantiated tips submitted by members of the public rather than official law enforcement findings. The DOJ has repeatedly stated these mentions should not be taken as proof of misconduct.
A spreadsheet summarizing complaints to the FBI’s NTOC that briefly mentioned Trump was temporarily removed and republished by the DOJ to clarify that no indication existed that the claims were verified.
Epstein Files Released: Why These Allegations Are in Public Records
The Epstein file releases are massive and include not just investigative records but also collateral material such as public tips, draft notes, and communications that were never vetted or pursued by law enforcement. The sheer volume of documents means some sensational or unverified content has entered the public domain, sparking debate and misinformation.
Experts warn readers that unverified draft writings attributed to Epstein are not evidence of wrongdoing. They emphasize that federal authorities have not confirmed these allegations through interviews, subpoenas, or prosecution.
Epstein Files Released: Documents Include Allegations, Not Proof
The presence of Bill Gates’ name and other high-profile individuals in the Epstein files does not prove involvement in criminal conduct or confirm any of the sensational claims. Many of the statements stem from draft writings or public tips that law enforcement never corroborated. Government officials and spokespeople for individuals named have denied the allegations and stressed that the files must be read with caution.
Despite this, the release highlights how the Epstein archive has become a focus of public fascination and scrutiny, underscoring the challenges of balancing transparency with accuracy in massive document disclosures.
