Bill Gates\u2019 ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein did not include a vital source of relevant information. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4024\">Trump, 80, Turns Oval Office Into Tacky Model Airplane Museum<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Seattle-based foundation started by Bill and ex-wife Melinda French Gates hired an outside law firm in March to \u201cassess past foundation engagement with Epstein\u201d after becoming mired in controversy following the release of the Epstein files. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Documents released by the Department of Justice included emails between Epstein and members of the Gates Foundation staff, along with photos of Bill Gates posing with the disgraced financier\u2014who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges\u2014and with women whose faces were redacted. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The law firm, WilmerHale, has now completed its review and found \u201cno evidence\u201d that the philanthropy paid Epstein, knew about or participated in his crimes, or knew that he was using the foundation to bolster his own reputation, according to a  shared on Tuesday by the foundation. <\/p>\n<p>But while the investigation included interviews with more than 50 current and former foundation employees\u2014including Bill Gates\u2014it didn\u2019t have access to the Microsoft founder\u2019s personal communications or review interactions with his private office, according to a footnote that was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWilmerHale did not have access to Mr. Gates\u2019s personal communications and did not review Epstein\u2019s interactions with Mr. Gates in a personal capacity or separate legal entities associated with Mr. Gates, including Gates Ventures and the Gates Foundation Trust,\u201d the firm wrote in a footnote. <\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the Gates Foundation for comment about the omission. <\/p>\n<p>WilmerHale identified about 30 meetings between Epstein and foundation leaders and staff, including Gates, that took place from 2011 to 2014 despite multiple warnings from the organization\u2019s own employees. <\/p>\n<p>Epstein was already a registered sex offender at the time, having pled guilty to soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution in connection with allegations that he ran a sex-trafficking ring that included girls as young as 14. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a

girls, he was sentenced to just 18 months in jail as part of an unprecedented sweetheart deal spearheaded by then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, who went on to serve as President Donald Trump\u2019s labor secretary. <\/p>\n<p>Trump and Epstein were close friends for years, though the president has denied any involvement in his crimes. <\/p>\n<p>According to the WilmerHale memo, Gates Foundation staff repeatedly warned their founder and other leaders about the risks of associating with a convicted sex offender. <\/p>\n<p>Several meetings were nevertheless organized on the foundation\u2019s campus and at Epstein\u2019s Manhattan mansion, where the late pedophile was accused of luring young girls and abusing them. <\/p>\n<p>WilmerHale found \u201cno evidence\u201d that the foundation meetings were \u201cunrelated to philanthropy or involved illegal conduct,\u201d according to its review.<\/p>\n<p>The organization\u2019s governing board has nevertheless agreed to adopt a new vetting process for donors and other foundation partners, including a heightened review of proposed foundation meetings that take place at personal residences, according to WilmerHale. <\/p>\n<p>Gates has apologized over his ties to Epstein and said it was a mistake to meet with him, though he has denied any involvement in illegal activity <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>He has admitted to having affairs with two Russian women whom Epstein later found out about, and told Congress he might have unknowingly \u201cbeen in the presence of victims\u201d while meeting with Epstein. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a
