World Economic Forum chief resigns after Epstein ties revealed

Source: The Hill

“Børge Brende resigned as president and CEO of the World Economic Forum (WEF) amid revelations regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Brende wrote in a WEF release he decided to step down ‘after careful consideration’ from a role he has occupied since 2017. He did not mention the late convicted sex offender. … The WEF launched a probe into Brende earlier this month, after documents released by the Department of Justice revealed he attended multiple ‘business dinners’ with Epstein and exchanged emails and text messages with the sex offender, years after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute.” (02/26/26)
