Former US Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Larry Summers has sparked controversy after emails revealed he exchanged messages with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein until the day before Epstein's 2019 arrest. The emails showed Summers discussing his pursuit of a former mentee, Chinese economist Keyu Jin. Summers, who has been married since 2005, has apologized for his actions and stepped away from public life. However, he recently returned to Harvard to teach, acknowledging the Epstein email controversy in his class. In a video shared online, Summers asked students for permission to continue with the lesson despite the controversy. The emails were released by the US House Oversight Committee, and a bill to make the Epstein files public is pending President Trump's signature. An internal probe is underway at Harvard to evaluate Summers' actions. Summers' apology and decision to step away from public life have been met with mixed reactions. While some have expressed understanding, others have called for further action. The university's review of the situation will likely continue to spark debate about accountability and responsibility.
