Larry Summers, former Harvard president and a major Democratic economic figure, announced that he will reduce his public engagements after the release of seven years of correspondence between him and Jeffrey Epstein. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform disclosed the emails, which showed Summers remained in contact with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction. Summers framed his decision as an effort to rebuild trust with those closest to him, indicating that the revelations had caused personal strain and required him to rethink his public role.

The documents show Summers continued communicating with Epstein until July 5, 2019—one day before Epstein’s arrest on federal sex-trafficking charges. This detail intensified criticism, suggesting a sustained relationship despite Epstein’s widely known criminal history. The messages included moments of personal disclosure, such as Summers seeking Epstein’s advice regarding a romantic pursuit and Epstein calling himself Summers’ “wing man.” These exchanges clashed sharply with Summers’ reputation as a leading economist and academic.
