The fallout from Jeffrey Epstein has now touched nearly every corner of elite society — politics, entertainment, banking, and increasingly, philanthropy. Bill Gates has already acknowledged spending time within Epstein’s orbit, but new revelations about how the late financier intersected with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are raising fresh — and more uncomfortable — questions.
According to Vanity Fair, the foundation has admitted to previously undisclosed links between Epstein and its operations. After Gates publicly acknowledged past affairs, the foundation released a statement saying it would continue reviewing materials tied to Epstein’s communications with its staff — which is about as reassuring as saying, “we’ll circle back,” when everyone knows there’s a lot to circle.
