The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability released over 20,000 pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate on November 12, 2025, including emails between Epstein and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. The emails show Summers corresponded with Epstein from 2009 through July 2019—over a decade after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

In 2019 exchanges, Summers sought Epstein's dating advice about pursuing a woman he described as a mentee. After the committee published the documents, Summers announced on November 17 he would step back from public roles. On November 19, OpenAI's board accepted his resignation to protect institutional trust. Harvard also launched an investigation into Summers' Epstein ties.
