Larry Summers steps back from public life after messages to Epstein revealed
“I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused,” he said in a statement shared with multiple news outlets. “I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein.” Summers was one of several public figures exposed for being connected to Epstein after the House released emails from the late sex offender last week. Summers sought advice from Epstein in his pursuit of a woman he deemed his mentee, and Epstein described himself as the economist’s “wing man.” Summers stepped down as president of Harvard University in 2006 following a vote of no confidence by the faculty. However, he has worked as a tenured professor at the university since 1983, taking breaks to serve in the federal government. “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,” he said. Summers is Harvard’s Charles W. Eliot university professor and teaches two undergraduate courses, according to his university profile. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has called on Harvard to rethink its decision to allow Summers to teach students, echoing this sentiment in a statement to CNN. “If he had so little ability to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein even after all that was publicly known about Epstein’s sex offenses involving underage girls, then Summers cannot be trusted to advise our nation’s politicians, policymakers, and institutions or teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else,” Warren said. TRUMP ASKS FBI AND DOJ TO INVESTIGATE EPSTEIN’S TIES TO TOP DEMOCRATS, INCLUDING BILL CLINTON Harvard did not respond to the Washington Examiner‘s request for comment.
