Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has declared that his friendship with the late Democrat financier Jeffrey Epstein was a “huge mistake.”

During a new interview with the Wal Street Journal, Gates admitted that he “was foolish to spend any time” with the child sex trafficker and convicted pedophile.

Gates responded to questions about his secretive relationship with Epstein ahead of his new book release.

However, he only echoed remarks he had made in years past.

The 69-year-old billionaire authored “Source Code: My Beginnings.”

Gates’s book is set for release on February 4.

“In retrospect, I was foolish to spend any time with him,” Gates said of Epstein.

“I think I was quite stupid.
