The Epstein files just claimed WEF boss Børge Brende who interviewed Trump at Davos — 26 February 2026 (LINK)

— The forum launched the independent review earlier this month when it emerged that Brende had attended three business dinners with Epstein in 2018 and 2019, as well as communicated with him via emails and text messages. At least one of the dinners took place at Epstein's home in New York, emails show, just weeks before the financier was arrested on federal charges of child sex trafficking. In a statement earlier this month, after the WEF launched its probe, Brende said he had been "completely unaware of Epstein's past and criminal activities" and would not have communicated or attended dinners with him had he known. "I recognize that I could have conducted a more thorough investigation into Epstein's history, and I regret not doing so," he added.
