Wolfowitz World Bank Resignation Effective June 30
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz said Thursday he will resign at the end of June, giving up his long fight to survive pressure for his ouster over the generous compensation he arranged for his girlfriend.
His departure ends a two-year run at the development bank that was marked by controversy from the start, given his previous role as a major architect of the
Iraq war when he served as the No. 2 official at the
Pentagon.
