🌐 The World Economic Forum's president Borge Brende resigned this week as investigations into his connections with Jeffrey Epstein intensify. This comes amid global scrutiny of powerful figures linked to the convicted sex offender, whose network continues to unravel seven years after his death.
📄 While European authorities actively probe politicians and celebrities named in recently unsealed Epstein documents, the U.S. Department of Justice faces criticism for slower progress in investigating abuse allegations involving American elites.
