Borge Brende: World Economic Forum President Under Investigation
The World Economic Forum opened an investigation into its president and CEO, Borge Brende, over three business dinners with Epstein. In a 2018 email, Brende thanked Epstein for "a very interesting dinner" and called him "a brilliant host." Epstein replied that "both Bannon Leon and I were very impressed with you," referencing former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and billionaire Leon Black. Brende said he was "completely unaware of Epstein's past and criminal activities."
