The Gates Foundation initiated an external review after scrutiny over Chairman Bill Gates's association with Epstein and the release of emails between Epstein and foundation staff. Bill Gates testified before Congress, stating he did not fully understand the extent of Epstein's crimes and that Epstein attempted to blackmail him over extramarital affairs.

The results of the external review are expected this summer, with Buffett's decision on the donation anticipated later in the year.
