Overview

  • OpenAI and Larry Summers' office confirmed his resignation, which he said aligns with his decision to withdraw from public commitments.
  • The House Oversight Committee released thousands of Epstein-related documents that include years of emails showing Summers kept friendly contact and sought personal advice after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
  • Harvard said it is reviewing information on people at the university named in the newly released files to determine possible actions, following a 2020 review that logged more than 40 post‑conviction campus visits by Epstein.
  • The U.S. House voted by a wide margin to require the Justice Department to publish Epstein files, intensifying demands for disclosure and accountability.
  • Summers expressed regret to students and in public statements, while critics including Senator Elizabeth Warren urged limits on his teaching and advisory roles.
