Overview
- Larry Summers resigned from OpenAI’s board after a House committee published thousands of Epstein documents showing years of personal emails between the two men.
- Harvard confirmed a new review of individuals named in the released files, a move that follows its 2020 finding that Epstein visited campus more than 40 times after his 2008 conviction and was given an office.
- Summers said he is withdrawing from public commitments and has taken a leave from teaching at Harvard as the scrutiny intensifies.
- Beyond OpenAI, Summers also exited other roles, including the international advisory board at Santander, with additional organizations reporting his departure from advisory posts.
