WEF Chief Executive Brende Steps Down Amid Epstein Links

World Economic Forum Chief Executive Officer Børge Brende is stepping down from his position after it emerged he had ties with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

A recent batch of documents in Epstein files showed Brende arranging to meet the financier at the latter’s home for dinner in New York in 2018 and 2019. The second of those meetings was planned just weeks before Epstein’s arrest in the US on sex trafficking charges. He died in jail in August that year.
