Warren Buffett Pauses Gates Foundation Donation Pending Epstein Review
Warren Buffett has paused his customary mid-year donation to the Gates Foundation, awaiting the results of a review into the foundation's and Bill Gates's past connections with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Buffett, who has donated over $47 billion in Berkshire Hathaway shares to the foundation since 2006, is expected to reconsider his decision later this year, possibly in his Thanksgiving letter. The Gates Foundation has stated that Gates has taken responsibility for his actions and denied Epstein's involvement in its work.
