Larry Summers sought Epstein’s advice on courting a woman, new emails reveal
WASHINGTON, DC: Newly surfaced emails linked to Jeffrey Epstein reveal that the former Harvard University president, and an official in both Barack Obama’s and Bill Clinton’s administrations, sought romantic advice from the disgraced financier.
Messages exchanged between 2018 and 2019 show Lawrence Summers asking Epstein how to pursue a woman.
Larry Summers sought Epstein's dating advice
Despite Epstein’s well-documented history of offences against minors, Summers emailed his friend for advice on a woman he was interested in. “Think no response for a while probably appropriate,” Summers told Epstein in 2018 after forwarding him an email from an unnamed woman.
“She’s already begining [sic] to sound needy :) nice,” Epstein replied.
“Tone was not of good feeling. I dint [sic] want to be in a gift giving competition while being the friend without benefits,” Summers wrote to Epstein again the following year, seeking guidance on a woman’s involvement with another man.
“Shes smart. making you pay for past errors,” counseled Epstein. “ignore the daddy im going to go out with the motorcycle guy, you reacted well.. annoyed shows caring., no whining showed strentgh [sic]."
Epstein arrest came months after his personal exchanges with Larry Summers
Epstein was arrested and charged with trafficking just a few months after the exchange, and a month later was found dead in his jail cell.
Though Summers’ relationship with Epstein was already known to the public, it had been unclear just how intimate their interactions were.
Summers served as President Barack Obama’s director of the National Economic Council between 2009 and 2011. He also served as US Secretary of the Treasury under President Bill Clinton from 1999 to 2001, and held additional Treasury roles between 1993 and 1999. He has been married to Elisa New since 2005.
Republicans release new Epstein files, accuse Democrats of cherry-picking
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, November 12, released more than 20,000 pages of records from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, declaring, “You deserve the full truth.”
They released the records just hours after Democrats unveiled emails in which Epstein reportedly mentioned President Donald Trump.
The sudden release followed accusations from the White House and GOP lawmakers that Democrats had selectively leaked material to slander the president.
“Democrats whine about ‘releasing the files,’ but they only cherry-pick when they have them to generate clickbait,” the committee’s Republican members said in a statement accompanying the new document dump.
“You deserve the full truth,” they added. The trove of files adds a new twist to the intensifying partisan feud over Epstein’s reported connections with powerful figures, though the implications of the release remain unclear pending a full review.
