Microsoft founder Bill Gates told CNN on Wednesday that he regrets spending time with Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire financier who was accused of child sex trafficking.
Driving the news: "It was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of being there," Gates told CNN's Anderson Cooper.
"I had several dinners with him, you know, hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy for global health through contacts that he had might emerge," Gates said.
"When it looked like that wasn't a real thing, that relationship ended."

In fact, beginning in 2011, Mr. Gates met with Mr. Epstein on numerous occasions including at least three times at Mr. Epsteins palatial Manhattan townhouse, and at least once staying late into the night, according to interviews with more than a dozen people familiar with the relationship, as well as documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Employees of Mr. Gatess foundation also paid multiple visits to Mr. Epsteins mansion. And Mr. Epstein spoke with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and JPMorgan Chase about a proposed multibillion-dollar charitable fund an arrangement that had the potential to generate enormous fees for Mr. Epstein.
