Staff were informed in March, and the process is expected to conclude by summer. The report said it remains unclear whether findings will be made public.

According to documents released by the Justice Department, cited in the report, emails show coordination between Epstein and Bill Gates after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Gates has apologised internally, calling the association a “mistake,” while denying any personal misconduct.

The report also noted the foundation plans cost cuts, including layoffs, amid broader restructuring efforts.
