WilmerHale: a top U.S. law firm handling major corporate and white-collar matters. Current focus: legal strategy amid high-profile investigations and court battles surrounding government actions and ethics reviews.
The Gates Foundation has released a three-page summary of a WilmerHale review into its past engagements with Jeffrey Epstein. The review finds no evidence of payments to Epstein or illegal activity, but notes that Gates and foundation staff met Epstein about 30 times from 2011 to 2014, focusing on a donor-advised fund concept and a grant to the International Peace Institute. Gates has expressed regret for the associations and says the organization will strengthen governance and vetting.
