Recent news regarding Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Summers centers on the release of thousands of emails by the House Oversight Committee, which have led to Summers stepping back from most public commitments. The correspondence reveals a cozy relationship between the two, with Summers seeking personal and romantic advice from Epstein and discussing women in a misogynistic manner.
The emails, spanning from 2013 until the day before Epstein's 2019 arrest, show that Summers maintained contact with the convicted sex offender long after his 2008 guilty plea for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
Summers, a former US Treasury Secretary and Harvard President, sought advice from Epstein on pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he referred to as a "mentee". In one exchange, Epstein called himself Summers' "wing man".
The emails included exchanges where Summers made comments about women's intelligence and complained about the punishment of men for workplace misconduct during the #MeToo movement.
The communications also show discussions about Epstein potentially donating to a poetry project for Summers' wife, Elisa New, a Harvard professor. Summers also flew on Epstein's private jet on at least four occasions, including to the Virgin Islands in 2005.
In a statement released on Monday, November 17, Summers expressed "deep shame" for his actions and misguided decision to continue communicating with Epstein, and announced he would be stepping back from public commitments, though he will continue teaching at Harvard.
