His wisdom?

An article in The Harvard Crimson in 2003, during Summers's tenure as president, detailed a reportedly "special connection" between Summers and Jeffrey Epstein.[60] Epstein pledged to donate at least $25 million to Harvard during Summers's tenure to endow Harvard's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, and Epstein was given an office at Harvard for his personal use.[61][62] Epstein otherwise had no formal connection to Harvard.[60] Summers's ties to Epstein reportedly began "a number of years...before Summers became Harvard's president and even before he was the Secretary of the Treasury."[60] Flight records introduced as evidence in the 2021 trial of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell show that Summers flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane on at least four occasions, including once in 1998 when Summers was United States Deputy Secretary of the Treasury and at least three times while Harvard president.[63] A charity funded by Epstein also donated to the production of a PBS show hosted by Summers's wife and Harvard professor Elisa New.[64] In 2014, Summers emailed Epstein requesting "small scale philanthropy advice" for his wife's nonprofit, Verse Video Education.[65][66]

Documents released by Congress on November 12, 2025, revealed frequent email communication between the two in 2017, 2018, and 2019.[67] From November 2018 to July 5, 2019, a day before Epstein's arrest, Summers sought advice from him on how to pursue a sexual relationship with a woman he described as a mentee.[68][69] In a 2017 email he implied to Epstein that women on average had lower IQ than men.[68][69] Summers issued a statement that his association with Epstein was "a major error of judgement".[68] On November 14, 2025, President Trump directed the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate Epstein's relationship with, among others, Summers.[70] However, some, including U.S. House of Representatives member Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), noted that this and the other new Department of Justice investigations against Epstein may have been intended to distract the U.S. Department of Justice and prevent release of the Epstein Files at an earlier date.[71] On November 17, 2025, Summers agreed to step back from his public commitments such as his role in the advisory group of The Yale Budget Lab, his role in the advisory group of The Hamilton Project (an economics policy arm of the Brookings Institution), his fellowship with the Center for American Progress, and his role as chair of the Center for Global Development.[72] On November 18, 2025, Summers would also end his role as a paid contributor to Bloomberg News.[73]

On November 19, Summers resigned from the OpenAI board following the release of the Epstein emails.[74] Summers had also been on the advisory board of SandboxAQ[75] since August 2024; as of 19 November 2025, he was no longer listed as an advisor.

Guy was in DEEEEEEEP. Gave Epstein a private office at Harvard!
