Larry Summers

American economist (born 1954), former U.S. Treasury Secretary (1999-2001), President of Harvard University (2001-2006), and Director of the National Economic Council under Obama. Flight logs show he flew on Epstein's aircraft. Summers visited Epstein's Palm Beach residence and received a donation from Epstein to Harvard. When asked about the relationship, Summers acknowledged meeting Epstein on multiple occasions for discussions about science and economics but said he was "not aware of any of the issues that subsequently became public." Their connection illustrates Epstein's access to elite academic and policy circles.
