Nonprofit News From Elsewhere
In a CNN interview, Bill Gates called his relationship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein “a huge mistake” and said he ended it when hoped-for philanthropic commitments didn’t materialize. “I had several dinners with him, hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy for global health, through contacts that he had, might emerge.” Gates also told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he and Melinda French Gates, despite their divorce, hope to continue to work together at their foundation, as “that would definitely be the best thing for the foundation.” (New York Times and CNN video)
