Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, has expressed regret over “every minute” he spent with Jeffrey Epstein, as renewed attention surrounds his past ties with the convicted sexual offender. One draft email included in the files contained claims by Epstein that Gates was involved in extramarital affairs. “Every minute I spent with him, I regret, and I apologize,” Gates said. Melinda French Gates, Gates’ former wife, said the latest document release reopened painful memories from their marriage. Gates said he first met Epstein in 2011 and attended several dinners with him over the next three years.
