The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released new Epstein documents on Friday, January 30, 2026.
The newly disclosed documents detail explosive, unverified claims made by Epstein about Bill Gates, including an allegation that Gates contracted a sexually transmitted disease from “Russian girls” and requested a specific antibiotic to secretly give to his then-wife, Melinda.
The allegations are mentioned in emails Epstein sent to himself in July 2013. According to one email: “TO add insult to the harm you have caused them [sic] Beg me to delete the emails about your STD, your request that I provide you with antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your pe***.
Another email, described as a proposed resignation from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (where Epstein never worked), claimed that Gates had asked for help acquiring drugs because of “the consequences of having sex with Russian girls” and supporting “illicit trusts with married women.”
The documents also include a new photo of Gates with Epstein and a woman whose face is redacted.
Gates has yet to respond publicly to these allegations.
The claims emerge alongside other shocking revelations in the trove of documents, including emails showing Epstein hosting a dinner for Prince Andrew with a 20-year-old Russian woman and sending money to the wife of former British minister Peter Mandelson.
