An external review of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has found no evidence of payments to Jeffrey Epstein, according to a statement from the foundation.
The review also found no wrongdoing in the foundation's links to Epstein, the foundation said.
The foundation had interactions with Epstein regarding a donor fund and a grant. Despite this, the review ruled out wrongdoing, the foundation reported.
Newly reported details indicate that the Gates Foundation held dozens of meetings with Jeffrey Epstein between 2011 and 2014 to discuss a public health fund that never materialized. These interactions reportedly occurred despite internal warnings from staff members regarding the association.
The external review commissioned by the foundation in March, following the DOJ's release of Epstein-related documents, reveals that Bill Gates and other staff members held approximately 30 meetings with Jeffrey Epstein between 2011 and 2014. These discussions reportedly centered on a public health fund that was never established. Despite staff members raising concerns on multiple occasions regarding the risks associated with Epstein's criminal history, these meetings proceeded as planned.
