The president and two faculty members at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge apologize for accepting donations from Jeffrey Epstein, the jailed sex offender and hedge fund manager who killed himself; the school promises to donate money to help victims of sex abuse. Citing national security concerns, the U.S. Department of Commerce bars several research centers run by Chinese communications powerhouse Huawei Technologies from receiving U.S. products and software.
