Gates Foundation met with Jeffrey Epstein about 30 times, review finds

techJul 22, 2026221,732

An external review commissioned by the Gates Foundation found roughly 30 meetings between Jeffrey Epstein and foundation leaders and staff, including Bill Gates, from 2011 to 2014, even though staff raised concerns about associating with Epstein because of his prior conviction. The foundation launched the review in March after the Justice Department released millions of Epstein-related documents that referenced Gates and showed multiple meetings. Law firm WilmerHale conducted the review over about five months, interviewing more than 50 current and former foundation personnel and reviewing extensive materials. WilmerHale found no evidence that the foundation paid Epstein, that foundation personnel participated in or knew about Epstein’s criminal activities, or that the foundation knew Epstein used its name to advance his conduct. Gates has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein; he apologized to foundation employees at a February town-hall and in June told the House Committee on Oversight and Reform that he never witnessed or had any indication of Epstein’s ongoing criminal conduct. The review says Epstein was introduced to Gates and foundation personnel in 2011 by an adviser who held a dual role at the foundation and in Gates’s personal office.

USA, it's time to remove the pedo. Impeach & remove the creepy convicted felon.

Seems like Epstein may have been an "intelligence broker", gathering and selling intelligence to whoever pays well, or can be blackmailed with compromising sexual material. Likely why Trump is so beholding to Putin and Netanyahu, and why he wired money to Epstein 4,700 times.

This is a story of very wealthy powerful adult men who sexually preyed on young girls, YOUNG GIRLS and young vulnerable young-very young women. It is a story of corruption of the worst kind. www.miamiherald.com/news/state/f...

The internet was more fun when you could just post. A FREE anonymous social platform with no accounts, no profiles, and no follower counts. Your words should matter more than your profile:

Now, now it could have been payment for Epstein’s coke runs to MAL just as well for molesting children.

And don't forget - FBI found a young woman believable enough to interview her four times. Her accusation is that Trump raped and abused her when she was 13 or 14. This is in black and white right in the Epstein files that have been released.

Can't believe you re-posted this after you were told yesterday that it is false. Wyden never said that the payments were made by Trump. You have tens of thousands of subscribers. You have an obligation to fact check and not post misinformation. www.finance.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Anyone who has access should release the Epstein files in full, only REDACTING the victims (children who were sexually assaulted) and leaving the perpetrators UNREDACTED. Everyone needs to know the names of the scum.

"I recall being aware that Epstein had faced prior legal issues, but I did not fully understand the extent of the crimes he committed." Going to call Bullshit on this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

That fucker was told. Also, it would've taken one search. No wonder Melinda seems so disgusted with him. Just a huge disappointment.

That's fine, I can find plenty of wrongdoing with the Gates Foundation without Epstein links.

The Gates Foundation met with Jeffrey Epstein even when they KNEW he was a sexual predator. Staff warned about it. No wonder Buffett stopped his yearly donation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Leon Black: Ex-CEO of top Private Equity firm, Apollo Global Management. So entangled with Jeffrey Epstein that he paid the U.S. Virgin Islands $62.5 million in exchange for "being released from claims related to Epstein." In a rarity for billionaires, he lost his job over it.

Gates Foundation continued to meet with Epstein after he (Epstein) pleaded guilty to solicitation of a minor. It's no wonder Gates shows up for every Trump event with TechBros. Can't believe anyone thinks we should let this guy decide anything about our future. apnews.com/article/bill...

Bill Gates has fallen off his pedestal. I’m disgusted every time I see a picture of him now…and I’m sure there’s more vile activity to come from this one. The Epstein pressure cooker is hitting the critical barrier…soon it will spew out all its contents. Bill Gates = Admiration to Disgust

His wife didn't divorce him just cause he "knew" Epstein... What a dogshit legacy Gates ends with.

Reminder that Gates lied THREE different times about how close he was to epstein, each time he lied people found evidence he knew him much earlier. The earliest evidence is a tabloid from the early 90s saying that he was a client of Epstein and partied with him in London with Prince Andrew.
