An external review commissioned by the Gates Foundation finds no evidence that the foundation made payments to Jeffrey Epstein or participated in any criminal activity linked to him. Multiple outlets report that the review was conducted by WilmerHale, a law firm retained earlier this year after the foundation said it regretted having employees interact with Epstein in any capacity. According to the reporting, the inquiry is based on more than 50 interviews and a review of extensive written materials. The foundation says it engaged with Epstein, but the review does not substantiate claims of financial transactions or involvement in wrongdoing. One outlet also reports that the scope of the investigation is limited to the foundation’s philanthropic activities, and it does not cover whether Bill Gates himself or his private office participated in any crimes. The foundation and the law firm present the findings as clearing the foundation of evidence of payments or participation in criminal conduct connected to Epstein.
