NEW YORK, United States (AFP) — Former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers resigned from his teaching post at Harvard University over his links to Epstein, the Ivy League institution said on Wednesday.
Summers, who ran the US Treasury under former President Bill Clinton, was revealed in the Epstein files released by the Department of Justice to have had extensive exchanges with the now deceased financier.
“Harvard Kennedy School Dean Jeremy Weinstein has accepted professor Lawrence H. Summers’ resignation from his leadership position,” the university said in a statement.
