Bill Gates described his meetings with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as a “huge mistake” in a television interview aired days after his divorce from ex-wife Melinda French Gates was finalised. Gates told CNN in an interview broadcast on Wednesday that he regretted his meetings with the notorious hedge fund manager, who was found dead in his jail cell in August 2019 after federal prosecutors in New York indicted him for operating a child sex trafficking ring and abusing dozens of underage girls. Epstein’s death was ruled a suicide by hanging.
