Larry Summers has taken a leave of absence from Harvard University amid scrutiny over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He acknowledged maintaining contact with Epstein for at least seven years before Epstein's death in 2019 was a grave misjudgment and stepped down from multiple roles including at Harvard and OpenAI. Donald Trump signed a proposal mandating the DOJ to release documents related to the ongoing Epstein investigation within 30 days.
