Elite corruption exposed: Larry Summers flees OpenAI and Harvard after Epstein email scandal
Lawrence Summers, former Treasury secretary and Harvard president, resigned from OpenAI’s board and stepped back from Harvard teaching duties after leaked emails revealed extensive communications with Jeffrey Epstein.
Over 20,000 documents released by the House Oversight Committee exposed Summers seeking Epstein’s advice on pursuing a female mentee while also discussing Harvard fundraising—despite Epstein’s criminal history. Summers’ wife also solicited $500K from Epstein for her nonprofit.
Harvard is investigating faculty ties to Epstein, who donated $9.1 million to the university—including $736K after his 2006 arrest but before his 2008 conviction.
The scandal has triggered arrests and resignations worldwide, including U.K.’s Peter Mandelson, Norway’s former PM Thorbjørn Jagland and Prince Andrew—all linked to Epstein’s trafficking network.
Summers’ resignation from OpenAI reflects growing corporate pressure to cut ties with Epstein-connected figures, signaling broader institutional reckoning over elite corruption and impunity.
