Bill Gates has addressed his appearance in the newly released trove of Jeffrey Epstein files, saying he regrets every minute he spent with the late sex offender.

Axar.az informs in an exclusive interview with 9News' Chief Political Editor Charles Croucher, the Microsoft co-founder again denied the "false" accusations.

The documents appear to show draft messages in Epstein's email account alleging that Gates had used him to organise trysts with women and contracted a sexually transmitted infection.

" Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. That email was never sent. The email is false," he said.

" I don't know what his thinking was there. Was he trying to attack me in some way?

“Every minute I spent with him, I regret, and I apologise that I did that,” Gates told, adding that he was “foolish to spend time with him” and is “one of many people who regret ever knowing him”.
