"Harvard University professor Lawrence Summers, a former treasury secretary and Harvard president, announced that he would be stepping back from all of his public commitments after emails released by House Republicans revealed that he communicated regularly with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2018 and 2019. Summers, who has been married since 2005, apparently turned to Epstein for advice over how to romance a woman he described as his mentee."
""I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein," Summers said in a statement on Monday. "While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me.""
"including the former president Bill Clinton. The Epstein files have proven a major headache for the administration, which has fought efforts to force their release until a reversal Sunday, when Trump posted on Truth Social that "House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it's time to move on from this Democrat Hoax.""
Harvard professor Lawrence Summers, a former treasury secretary and Harvard president, will step back from public commitments after emails showed regular communications with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2018 and 2019. Summers, married since 2005, sought Epstein's advice on romancing a woman he described as his mentee; Epstein described himself as Summers's "wing man." The two corresponded by email and text up until the day before Epstein's 2019 arrest. Summers expressed deep shame, accepted responsibility, and said he will continue teaching while stepping back from public duties to rebuild trust. President Trump requested a Justice Department review and later urged public release of the Epstein files.
