- A review by law firm WilmerHale found that Bill Gates and Gates Foundation staff met Jeffrey Epstein roughly 30 times between 2011 and 2014, including at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and once at the foundation's campus.
- The three-page summary released on Tuesday found no evidence of illegal activity or payments to Epstein, and the talks centred on a global health fund that never materialised.
- Foundation staff had warned about legal and reputational risks, yet the meetings continued, and Gates later told a parliamentary committee that meeting Epstein was a serious error of judgment.
- The Gates Foundation says its board has approved new measures to strengthen investigations and risk management.
