Billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates claimed Jeffrey Epstein “could have been stopped” in an interview published after lawmakers questioned her ex-husband, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, over his ties to the late sex offender.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Guardian, French Gates hit out at the U.S. justice system, claiming it “didn’t do its job” when it came to Epstein, who died in jail seven years ago after prosecutors said he sexually exploited and abused dozens of underage girls.
