"Some of you may have seen my statement of regret, expressing my shame with respect to what I did in communication with Mr. Epstein and that I've said I'm going to step back from public activities for a while for a time but that I think it's very important to fulfil my teaching obligations. And so, with your permission, I'm gonna we're gonna go forward and talk about the material in the class."
"Summers, who previously led Harvard as its president after serving as former President Bill Clinton's Treasury Secretary and later as former President Barack Obama's National Economic Council director, resumed teaching Program in General Education at the university after messages showed that he consulted Epstein in 2018 and 2019 about a woman he wanted to date, more than a decade after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor."
"In one exchange from 2018, Summers forwarded an email from the woman and sought Epstein's judgment. Think no response for a while probably appropriate, he wrote. As the Harvard Crimson later noted, the woman appears to be Keyu Jin, a 2004 Harvard graduate and then a professor at the London School of Economics. Epstein replied: She's already begining [sic] to sound needy :) nice."
A Harvard student recorded Professor Larry Summers opening class by acknowledging shame over communications with Jeffrey Epstein and saying he would step back from public activities while continuing to teach. Newly public emails showed Summers consulted Epstein in 2018 and 2019 about a woman he wanted to date, more than a decade after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. Summers resumed teaching amid the revelations. One 2018 exchange shows Summers forwarding a woman's email to Epstein and seeking judgment; Epstein replied that she was "begining [sic] to sound needy." The messages include additional 2019 exchanges with tense tone.
