Warren Buffett has revealed he has not spoken to Bill Gates since the release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein. The Berkshire Hathaway chairman told CNBC he has avoided contact to prevent being called as a witness in the ongoing scrutiny. Buffett, who has donated over $43 billion to the Gates Foundation, acknowledged their longstanding friendship but emphasized the need for clarity before resuming communication.
Gates, who befriended Epstein in 2011, has previously apologized for the association and denied any illicit activity. Buffett described Epstein as 'the con man of all time,' highlighting his ability to exploit others' weaknesses. The revelations have sparked broader discussions about the relationships between high-profile figures and the disgraced financier.
