Gates Shutters His Foundation
Bill Gates has announced he will be shuttering his foundation, leaving only one percent remaining for himself and his children. Effectively, he is giving away his multi-billion dollar fortune, representing approximately $200 billion. That won’t happen overnight, however, but over a 20-year period through 2045.
Could that timetable be altered if Attorney General Pam Bondi releases video tapes showing Gates with his former mistress while in the company of Jeffrey Epstein? Gates’ divorce with his ex-wife Melinda was allegedly spurred by his relationship with a Russian woman, Mila Antonova, a champion bridge player.
Antonova was not a minor at the time, but in her 20s, much younger than Gates, who was in his late 50s when the affair allegedly happened. The New York Post reported that Epstein had tried to extort money from Gates, threatening to disclose that relationship. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.
Whitney Webb explains why Phase 1 of the Epstein Files that Trump released are so toothless and tells us what he’s hiding — and why Epstein’s financial crimes get overlooked in favor or Epstein’s sex crimes.
Webb says Epstein’s cronies including the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman had wanted to buy Tesla from Elon Musk and take the company private. And besides Gates, mentioned in the piece above, Epstein had relationships with Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as with Thomas Pritzker of Hyatt Hotels and J.B. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois.
Webb also notes while some of Epstein’s properties, such as those in New York and Florida, were raided, his Zorro Ranch getaway in New Mexico was never probed by the FBI nor state agencies. Here’s more Katie Halper.
