Warren Buffett skips donation to Gates Foundation amid Epstein review, WSJ reports
Warren Buffett skips donation to Gates Foundation amid Epstein review, WSJ reports June 29 (Reuters) - Berkshire Hathaway BRKa.N chairman Warren Buffett is skipping his usual mid-year donation to the Gates Foundation so he can wait to see the findings of a review into the foundation's ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with Buffett's plans.
Buffett is delaying his decision until later in the year, possibly until when he puts out his Thanksgiving letter, the report added.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
