The Gates Foundation has released a three-page summary of WilmerHale’s external review, stating there is no evidence that the foundation paid Epstein or participated in his sex-trafficking crimes. The report notes two meetings between Epstein and Gates or foundation staff from 2011 to 2014, involving a donor-advised fund concept and a grant to the International Peace Institute. Gates has testified that he regrets the association, and the foundation says it will strengthen vetting and risk controls.
