Reference News Network November 19 report, according to the website of Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" on November 18, newly released emails of the late sex offender Epstein by the U.S. House of Representatives show that Lawrence Summers, who once served as the U.S. Treasury Secretary and Harvard University President, continued to maintain contact with Epstein for many years after Epstein faced charges of sex trafficking.
According to the "New York Times", after the exposure of emails between Summers and Epstein, Summers announced he would no longer participate in public affairs.
Summers, now a professor of economics at Harvard University, issued a statement on the 17th saying: "I am deeply ashamed of my actions and realize the harm caused by these actions. I take full responsibility for my wrong decision to continue maintaining contact with Epstein." He said he will continue his teaching work at Harvard University.
The relationship between Summers and Epstein has long been known. Summers once sought funding from Epstein to support a poetry foundation led by his wife, Elisa, an honorary professor of literature at Harvard University.
However, the emails released last week revealed that the relationship between Summers and Epstein was actually more intimate. Summers once sought advice from Epstein on emotional issues, and the two maintained email correspondence for several years, often joking with each other.
