Warren Buffett said on Tuesday that he has not spoken to Microsoft
founder Bill Gates “since the whole thing” with the Jeffrey Epstein files “was unveiled.”

“I haven’t talked to him at all since the whole thing was unveiled,” Buffett told CNBC’s Becky Quick on “Squawk Box.”

“I don’t want to be in a position where I know things ... to be called as a witness,” he added.

Asked if he was still good friends with Gates, Buffett spoke fondly of their personal relationship, which included establishing, with Gates’ ex-wife Melinda Gates, The Giving Pledge, an effort aimed at garnering commitments by the world’s richest people to commit much of their wealth to philanthropy

But, Buffett added, referring to the scandal surrounding Epstein and Gates, “I think until it gets cleared up, it doesn’t make sense to do a lot of talking.

“I don’t want to be under oath,” Buffett said in what were his first public comments about Gates since the Epstein files were released.

2. Well, that's interesting. Those guys were tight.

They played bridge together and sponsored a tournament
in Council Bluffs, Iowa every year.

3. Just like Melinda

She waved her hand as in brushing off Gates and said she was glad there was distance between her and this sordid affair.

Same with Buffet. Who wants to spend time in a court room testifying about someone else's poor judgment?
