Gates Foundation commissions external review of Bill Gates' ties to Jeffrey Epstein while cutting staff by 20 percent

The Gates Foundation announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 20 percent and commissioned an outside review of the foundation's connections to Jeffrey Epstein. CEO Mark Suzman disclosed the external review in a Tuesday memo, covering both the foundation's engagement with Epstein and policies for vetting new philanthropic partnerships. The foundation has faced scrutiny since DOJ documents released in January showed correspondence between Epstein and foundation staff, as well as photos of Gates with Epstein.
