Overview

  • Summers said he is stepping back from public commitments while continuing to teach at Harvard and expressed shame and responsibility for continuing to communicate with Epstein.
  • The House Oversight Committee’s document release included exchanges from 2013 to July 5, 2019, showing Summers sought Epstein’s romantic advice and Epstein described himself as Summers’ “wing man.”
  • A spokesperson for the Center for American Progress said Summers’ nonresident, uncompensated fellowship is under review after last week’s disclosures.
  • President Trump urged the Justice Department to investigate figures named in the files, and Attorney General Pam Bondi launched a probe shortly afterward.
  • The House is poised to vote on a bill to compel broader DOJ disclosure of Epstein records, with Trump now backing the measure and the Senate outcome uncertain.
