This was three years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting an underage girl in Florida; by then, accusations that Epstein exploited girls and young women\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/jeffrey-epstein-pedophile-billionaire-and-his-sex-den\">were widely reported<\/a>\u00a0in the press.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times also noted that Gates had met Epstein at various times between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/bill-gates-praised-pedophile-jeffrey-epstein-kind-of-intriguing\">2011 to 2013<\/a> and Epstein attempted to solicit donations for a charitable fund. \u201cIn 2013, Gates also took a ride on Epstein\u2019s private jet (christened by tabloids as the Lolita Express), from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to Palm Beach, Florida, according to flight records reviewed by the\u00a0Times,\u201d The Daily Beast added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/08\/14\/jeffrey-epstein-met-with-bill-gates-years-after-financier-served-jail-time.html\">CNBC<\/a>\u00a0reported in 2019, \u201cEpstein\u2019s discussions with Gates included at least one meeting, which took place in New York in 2013, while Gates was still Microsoft\u2019s chairman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gates said in 2019, \u201cI met him. I didn\u2019t have any business relationship or friendship with him. I didn\u2019t go to New Mexico or Florida or Palm Beach or any of that. There were people around him who were saying, \u2018Hey, if you want to raise money for global health and get more philanthropy, he knows a lot of rich people.\u2019 Every meeting where I was with him were meetings with men. I was never at any parties or anything like that. He never donated any money to anything that I know about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGates\u2019 friendship with Epstein\u2014who for years was accused of molesting scores of underage girls\u2014still haunts Melinda, according to friends of the couple who spoke to The Daily Beast,\u201d The Daily Beast added.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Times, Boris Nikolic, a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a \u201cformer adviser to Gates who was mysteriously named a backup executor in Epstein\u2019s last will and testament,\u201d acted as an intermediary between Gates and Epstein; the Times also named Melanie Walker, \u201cwho worked at the Gates foundation and served as a science advisor to Epstein.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA person close to Walker told The Daily Beast she did not attend nor help set up any meetings between Gates and Epstein. Nikolic did not return multiple requests for comment,\u201d The Daily Beast reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast quoted an \u201cassociate in the technology world who\u2019s attended the same events as Epstein\u201d saying, \u201cIf you ask Bill Gates, he\u2019ll say, \u2018Oh I had absolutely no idea he wasn\u2019t up to anything of the highest moral character.\u2019 But I seriously doubted Epstein\u2019s moral character.\u201d The \u201cassociate\u201d added of Melinda\u2019s reported dislike of Epstein that Epstein\u2019s photos of former President Bill Clinton and the Pope were \u201creally obnoxious, especially if you\u2019re somebody like Melinda and hanging around with heads of state anyway. Then to have someone do this endless name-dropping\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gates reportedly emailed the Gates Foundation staff after first meeting Epstein, \u201cHis lifestyle is very different and kind of intriguing although it would not work for me.\u201d Gates\u2019 spokeswoman explained the email by attesting he \u201cwas referring only to the unique decor\u201d and \u201cEpstein\u2019s habit of spontaneously bringing acquaintances in to meet Mr. Gates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/news-desk\/how-an-elite-university-research-center-concealed-its-relationship-with-jeffrey-epstein\">The New Yorker<\/a> reported that Epstein helped set up Gates\u2019 $2 million donation to the lab, writing, \u201cEpstein appeared to serve as an intermediary between the lab and other wealthy donors, soliciting millions of dollars in donations from individuals and organizations, including the technologist and philanthropist Bill Gates and the investor Leon Black. According to the records obtained by <em>The New Yorker<\/em> and accounts from current and former faculty and staff of the media lab, Epstein was credited with securing at least $7.5 million in donations for the lab, including two million dollars from Gates and $5.5 million from Black, gifts the e-mails describe as \u2018directed\u2019 by Epstein or made at his behest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
