World Economic Forum chief resigns after review of Jeffrey Epstein links

Borge Brende, the president and chief executive of the World Economic Forum, has resigned. His departure follows an internal review of his past connections to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Separately, Harvard University suspended an Austrian professor, Roland Nowak, over his connections to Epstein. Swiss bank Edmond de Rothschild also said it is monitoring its own links to the financier.
