Warren Buffett stops Gates Foundation donations following Epstein revelations
Gates' ties to Epstein drew scrutiny
The Gates Foundation did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Berkshire did not immediately respond to requests for additional comment.
Bill Gates has seen his reputation tarnished following the U.S. Department of Justice's release of files about Epstein in February.
These included photos of Gates posing with the financier, and with women whose faces were redacted. Emails also showed communications between Epstein and the foundation's staff.
In June, Gates told Congress he "did not fully understand the extent" of Epstein's crimes when he associated with the financier, including in meetings focused on possible philanthropy.
Gates, 70, has not been accused of crimes. He has repeatedly expressed regret for having anything to do with Epstein, has denied spending time with victims of Epstein's sexual abuse, and has said he never witnessed criminal conduct by Epstein.
