"The review was launched in March with help from Gates and the foundation's independent board members and is expected to deliver an update this summer."
"Epstein spent a decade building a network of intermediaries to get closer to Gates, including Gates' 'right hand' and chief science advisor Boris Nikolic."
"A spokesman for Gates stated that Gates 'regrets meeting with Epstein' and 'never witnessed or engaged in any illicit or illegal behavior.'"
"Epstein used favors, such as helping Mila Antonova secure a visa and funding her coding classes, to pressure Gates."
The Gates Foundation has initiated an external investigation into its past engagement with Jeffrey Epstein, as CEO Mark Suzman informed staff. This review, launched in March, aims to assess the foundation's policies for vetting philanthropic partnerships. Bill Gates is set to testify before Congress regarding his relationship with Epstein. Recent findings indicate Epstein spent nearly a decade building connections within Gates' inner circle, including influential figures associated with the foundation. The investigation follows scrutiny from the Justice Department's Epstein files and aims to provide updates this summer.
