While his foundation did not explicitly address what Gates feared might distract from the intended focus of the summit, the latest release of Epstein files in late January intensified the controversy surrounding his ties to the disgraced financier.

      Are we talking about Gate’s home country, which was also home to the most notorious child rapist and trafficker of our time, who was also close to the country’s child rapist in chief? You know, the ‘disgraced financier’ whose collaborators have had to face no accountability whatsoever.

      Because if we’re going to talk about countries that are “a-ok with rape”…
