Gates Foundation Review Finds No Epstein Links
The Gates Foundation conducted an external review to check if there were any payments made to Jeffrey Epstein, a person known for bad actions.
The review found no proof that any payments were made or that the foundation was involved in any wrongdoing.
Some people might still have concerns, but the foundation says they did a thorough check and found nothing.
The review also looked into if the foundation knew about or was part of Epstein's criminal activities and found no evidence of that either.
The foundation has been under scrutiny because Bill Gates, who is involved with the foundation, knew Epstein.
The review was done by a law firm called WilmerHale and included interviews with many people and looking at lots of documents.
