Robert Gates appears in 15 documents within the Epstein files, but these mentions are entirely unrelated to Jeffrey Epstein. The references come from news articles and policy documents discussing Gates in his official capacity as U.S. Secretary of Defense (2006-2011).
Gates is mentioned exclusively in archived news articles and policy analysis documents from publications like The Financial Times, Newsweek, and The National Interest. These documents discuss his public statements on U.S. military policy, NATO, Libya, Iran, China, and defense spending during his tenure as Defense Secretary under Presidents Bush and Obama. There is also one unrelated mention of "Bill Gates" (Microsoft founder) and several property records for a "Helene P. Gates" trust. None of these documents show any direct connection, correspondence, or relationship between Robert Gates and Jeffrey Epstein.
