Warren Buffett said on Tuesday that he has not spoken to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates since all the documents related to Jeffrey Epstein were made public. "I haven't said a word to him since all this came out," Buffett told Becky Quick on the program. He added, "I don't want to be [in] a position of having any knowledge... it might be called upon to be a witness." Asked if he is still friends with Gates, Buffett spoke warmly of their personal relationship - they had jointly launched the "Giving Pledge" with Gates' ex-wife Melinda Gates, which aims to encourage the world's wealthiest individuals to commit to giving away most of their wealth to charitable causes. However, Buffett added, referring to the Epstein-Gates scandal, "I think it's a meaningless conversation before things are clarified."
