"[Gates] took responsibility for his actions" and connection to the sex offender, a spokesperson told Reuters of the company-wide meeting in a statement, adding that the 70-year-old tech mogul "spoke candidly, addressing several questions in detail."
The Wall Street Journal reported that in this town hall, Gates admitted it was "a huge mistake to spend time with Epstein," and that he regretted bringing other Gates Foundation executives into meetings with him. “I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made," he reportedly said.
The Microsoft founder also insisted that he "did nothing illicit" and "saw nothing illicit," despite photos of him posing with women, whose faces were redacted, appearing in the Epstein documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

"To be clear I never spent any time with victims, the women around him," he added, claiming that the images show him standing with Epstein's assistants after meetings, and that they were taken at Epstein's request.
DOJ documents show that Gates communicated and met with Epstein several times after his 2008 conviction and prison sentence, as Epstein offered connections to potential donors and wealthy contacts for philanthropic purposes. The Gates Foundation said in February 2026 that they never made any financial payments to Epstein, nor employed him for any purpose.
