Fortune Investigation Links Gates Associates Melanie Walker and Steven Sinofsky to Ongoing Epstein Contact
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
A March 2026 Fortune investigation reported that Melanie Walker — a Gates Foundation neuroscience programme officer and personal physician to Gates — and Steven Sinofsky, a former Microsoft executive and close Gates associate, had maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein beyond the period Gates claimed the relationship had ended. Walker, who had met Epstein as a student in 1992 and remained close to him, attended Epstein events through at least 2017; Sinofsky had exchanged emails with Epstein as late as 2018. The story added to scrutiny of the breadth of Gates's social circle's ties to Epstein.

Melinda French Gates commits an additional $215 million to women's health through Pivotal
Melinda French Gates announced in June 2026 that she would donate an additional $215 million through her organization Pivotal to focus on women's reproductive and midlife health, bringing her total support for women's health to about $600 million over two years. The commitment underscored French Gates's independent philanthropic path since stepping down from the Gates Foundation in 2024 and her focus on areas she has said are chronically underfunded. It came amid broader cuts to U.S. reproductive- and global-health funding.

Bill Gates publishes the 2026 Gates Foundation Annual Letter, 'Reaching 2045'
Bill Gates published the 2026 Gates Foundation Annual Letter, titled 'Reaching 2045,' framing the next two decades as the Foundation spends down its endowment before closing in 2045. Gates wrote that his optimism now 'comes with footnotes,' questioning whether global generosity will keep pace with rising wealth and whether innovation will be scaled to reduce inequality. He pledged to spend much of 2026 advocating for child-health funding and set a goal of again halving child mortality in the global South by 2045, while voicing both excitement about AI for health and concern about managing its disruption.
