How Melinda French Gates Plans To Fund “Chronically,” “Unconscionably” Underfunded Programs For Women And Girls
On an NPR podcast in early February, Melinda French Gates was asked about the latest Epstein files released by the Justice Department that revealed some scandalous but unverified claims about her ex-husband and actions he was trying to hide from her. While French Gates suggested she divorced Bill Gates and severed ties with the Gates Foundation at least in part due to earlier Epstein revelations, she took that moment to focus not on herself but the pain inflicted on the victims, saying that no girl should ever be put in that situation. “It’s beyond heartbreaking… I am able to take my own sadness and look at those young girls,” she added.
