Larry Summers, former US Treasury Secretary and Harvard University president, is under fire following the release of emails linking him to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The emails, obtained by news outlets, reveal a close relationship between the two men, with Summers seeking Epstein's financial advice and attending social gatherings at his luxurious properties.

According to The Guardian, the emails show Summers discussing global economic issues with Epstein and even offering to collaborate on academic projects. The revelations have sparked outrage and calls for accountability from the public, given Epstein's history of sex trafficking and abuse.

In a recent article by HuffPost, it was revealed that Summers also had contact with former President Donald Trump regarding Epstein. The New York Times reported that Summers had faced criticism for his ties to Epstein but had defended his actions as purely professional.

Following these revelations, CBS News reported that Summers has resigned from the board of OpenAI, a prominent artificial intelligence research organization. The scandal has raised questions about Summers' judgment and ethics, as well as the connections between powerful figures and convicted criminals like Epstein.
