What recent developments involve Jeffrey Epstein and the World Economic Forum?
The head of the World Economic Forum, Borga Brenda, is stepping down after revelations he had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Bloomberg's David Gurra has more.
The president and CEO here stepping down. He'd been in the job for eight and a half years. In a statement from the World Economic Forum, they mentioned the fact there'd been an independent review that was conducted by outside counsel that has ended. World Economic Forum notes those findings stated that there were no additional concerns beyond what's been previously disclosed. I look at this statement, and interestingly, the name Jeffrey Epstein does not come up in that official language here. But that certainly is the backdrop to all of this.
Bloomberg's David Gora reports the statement from Forum co-chairs Larry Fink and Andre Hoffman does say that Aloise Zwinge will serve as interim president and CEO. Later today, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The panel had threatened to hold her and Bill Clinton in contempt if they did not appear. The former president will testify tomorrow. Florida Republican Anna Paulina Luna sits on the committee.
I don't think that they're going to give us any pertinent information. I mean, we have the secretary coming in and we have her husband the next day, former President Bill Clinton. I think, obviously, there's plenty of photo evidence of Mr. Clinton probably doing some not-so-nice things.
Republican Ana Paulina Luna. Separately, the Justice Department says it will review claims that a section of its Epstein files was withheld from publication online. The top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, Robert Garcia... says a claim that President Trump sexually abused a minor appears to be missing. The president has said he cut ties with Epstein decades ago and did not engage in wrongdoing. Cuba's Coast Guard shot and killed four people on a Florida-registered speedboat off its northern coast. The Cuban Interior Ministry says the vessel opened fire on security forces as they approached the boat near Via Clara. It says they were Cubans living in the U.S. who planned to fight the government. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the U.S.
will do its own investigation.
As it stands now, the Department of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard, others are involved. The majority of the information we still possess is what Cuban authorities are providing, both the public and the U.S. government.
Secretary of State Rubio spoke to reporters on his way to St. Kitts. The incident could raise tensions with Cuba even further. President Trump has imposed an energy blockade on the island and is trying to squeeze the regime after toppling former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro last month. Now to new developments in the Middle East. U.S. and Iranian officials are meeting in Geneva today for the latest round of nuclear talks. We get the very latest with Bloomberg Middle East correspondent Jumana Bersetchi.
The talks today will be mostly centered around the nuclear program. Iran have not yet conceded to talk about their ballistic weapons arsenal. And so our expectation is that the discussions today will mostly be around nuclear enrichment. and whether the U.S. will actually allow for that quote-unquote token level of enrichment that the Iranians have been pushing for. And if they do, then it has to go along with very stringent criteria, including Iran fully relinquishing the advanced centrifuges that they have on their soil, allowing for the already existing stockpile of enriched uranium to be passed on, or at least being transparent about its whereabouts,
