   Lay down with Jew Democrats, get up with fleas.   
      
   In a preview of an interview set to air Thursday on NPR's Wild Card   
   podcast, Melinda French Gates addressed the latest documents released   
   from the Justice Department's investigation into the late sex offender   
   Jeffrey Epstein, which include new references to her ex-husband,   
   Microsoft founder Bill Gates.   
      
   The philanthropist told host Rachel Martin that her reaction was one of   
   "unbelievable sadness," according to the video clip posted by NPR.   
      
   "I think we're having a reckoning as a society, right? No girl should   
   ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and   
   whatever was going on with all of the various people around him," French   
   Gates said. "No girl. It's just beyond heartbreaking."   
      
   French Gates, who finalized her divorce from Gates in 2021, said the   
   details in the latest files brought back memories of "some very, very   
   painful times" of her marriage.   
      
   "Whatever questions remain there ... those questions are for those   
   people, and for even my ex-husband," she said. "They need to answer to   
   those things, not me."   
      
   "I am so happy to be away from all the muck that was there," French   
   Gates said, adding that she felt she "had to leave" her marriage and the   
   Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  French Gates has previously said that   
   her ex-husband's association with Epstein was one factor of many that   
   led her to seek divorce.   
      
   "I'm able to take my own sadness and look at those young girls and say,   
   'my God, how did that happen to those girls'?" she told NPR. "At least   
   for me, I've been able to move on in life, and I hope there's some   
   justice for those now-women."   
      
   Asked by ABC about the latest Justice Department disclosure, a   
   spokesperson for Bill Gates said, "These claims are absolutely absurd   
   and completely false. The only thing these documents demonstrate is   
   Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with   
   Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame."   
      
   Gates told the Wall Street Journal in an interview last year that he was   
   "foolish to spend any time" with Epstein, calling it a "huge mistake."   
      
   Three million pages from the DOJ's files on Epstein were being released   
   to the public, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday.   
      
   Blanche said in total there were 6 million pages of Epstein documents in   
   the DOJ's files, but that nearly 3 million pages were being withheld for   
   various reasons including the presence of child sexual abuse material   
   and the obligation to protect victims' rights.
