Renowned economist and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is facing intense scrutiny after a batch of emails linked him to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Summers, a prominent Harvard professor, expressed deep shame over his interactions with Epstein and has suspended public engagements. The emails, released last week, show Summers engaged in conversations with Epstein on various topics, including politics and personal matters. Summers, who charges between $50,000 and $75,000 for speaking engagements, served as Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton and later as Harvard University President from 2001 to 2006. He has faced criticism for his past comments on women's participation in science, which some see as sexist. Following the release of the emails, Summers apologized, stating he was 'deeply ashamed' of his actions and took responsibility for his association with Epstein. He aims to restore trust with those close to him. US Senator Elizabeth Warren has called for Harvard to sever ties with Summers, citing his 'monumentally bad judgment' in associating with Epstein. Warren also questioned Summers' ability to lead Harvard students due to his past actions. Harvard has yet to comment on the allegations. The emails reveal Summers and Epstein's conversations on various topics, including Iran's nuclear policy and personal romantic pursuits.
