It's Time For Larry Summers To Get Voted Off The Island (11/18/25)

Larry Summers is a prominent American economist who has held significant roles, including U.S. Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and President of Harvard University from 2001 to 2006. He is currently the Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus at Harvard, where he continues to teach. Known for his influential, though often controversial, economic policy views, Summers has remained an active public voice until recently, serving on various boards including OpenAI, and as a paid columnist for Bloomberg News


The newest controversy stems from a trove of emails and text messages released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee, which revealed the depth of his continued communications with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein from 2017 until just one day before Epstein's July 2019 arrest. The messages show Summers confided in Epstein, seeking his advice on pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a "mentee" and sharing sexist remarks and jokes with Epstein, who described himself in one message as Summers' "wing man" in the pursuit. In response to the backlash, Summers stated he is "deeply ashamed" of his "misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein" and is "stepping back from public commitments". He has ended his fellowship at the Center for American Progress (CAP) and stepped down from the Yale Budget Lab advisory board but will continue his teaching duties at Harvard.
