Newly released Justice Department records, referred to as the “Epstein Library,” reveal that between 2013 and 2017, Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates engaged in private discussions about a potential joint pandemic simulation project.

According to the documents, the conversations were part of Epstein’s broader effort to reestablish influence within elite philanthropic and global health circles. At the time, Epstein was reportedly seeking to secure multibillion-dollar charitable partnerships involving Gates and JPMorgan Chase, using high-level policy discussions to strengthen his credibility and access to powerful networks.

The records suggest Epstein framed the proposed pandemic simulation as a forward-looking global health initiative, aligning himself with Gates’ longstanding public advocacy for pandemic preparedness and international health security.

The disclosures are part of a wider document release connected to the Epstein investigation, which continues to generate scrutiny over his associations and outreach efforts during that period.
