Jeffrey Epstein Emails Just Exposed Clinton Official In Sex Scandal That Left Democrats Stunned
Democrats couldn't shut up about Jeffrey Epstein for years, convinced the files would finally destroy Donald Trump.
Turns out they should have kept their mouths shut.
Because Jeffrey Epstein emails just exposed a Clinton official in a sex scandal that has Democrats scrambling to memory-hole their own hypocrisy.
Clinton Loyalist Caught Red-Handed In Epstein Web
Larry Summers served as Bill Clinton's Treasury Secretary from 1999 to 2001, supposedly one of the brilliant minds behind Clinton's economic policies.
Democrats treated him like economic royalty for three decades.
Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein's estate just torched that reputation beyond repair.
The House Oversight Committee dropped more than 20,000 pages of documents last week exposing years of personal correspondence between Summers and Epstein that went right up until Epstein's July 2019 arrest.
These weren't policy discussions between economic minds.
Summers was texting a convicted pedophile for dating advice like some pathetic teenager who can't get a girl to text him back.
In March 2019 emails, the then-65-year-old Summers complained to Epstein about a woman he described as his "mentee" – his own student – writing "I dint want to be in a gift giving competition while being the friend without benefits."¹
Let that sink in for a second.
A married 65-year-old Harvard professor was asking a convicted pedophile for advice on how to seduce his own student.
Summers has been married to Harvard literature professor Elisa New for 20 years.¹
That didn't stop him from texting Epstein about trying to sleep with a woman he was supposed to be mentoring professionally.
Epstein praised Summers for not "whining" to the woman and called it "strength."¹
Summers then complained the woman kept canceling plans with him for another man she found "really attracted" to but was "unsuitable as a partner."¹
Translation: she wanted nothing to do with the creepy married professor more than 40 years older than her, but Summers wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Should I just wait for her to call?" the desperate 65-year-old asked the convicted pedophile.¹
Epstein described himself as Summers's "wingman" in a November 2018 email and kept advising him on this pursuit for months.²
This was more than a decade after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl.
Trump Administration Launches Criminal Investigation
President Donald Trump watched Democrats spend years demanding the release of Epstein files thinking it would damage him.
Instead, the emails exposed deep ties between Epstein and prominent Democrats like Summers and Bill Clinton.
On Friday, Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein's relationships with Clinton, Summers, Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman, and JPMorgan Chase.³
"Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his 'Island,'" Trump posted on Truth Social.³
Bondi immediately assigned Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton to lead the probe.
"Thank you, Mr. President," Bondi wrote on X. "SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton is one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country, and I've asked him to take the lead."³
Democrats are now scrambling to distance themselves from Summers.
Senator Elizabeth Warren publicly called for Harvard to cut ties with Summers, saying he "cannot be trusted" with students.⁴
"For decades, Larry Summers has demonstrated his attraction to serving the wealthy and well-connected, but his willingness to cozy up to a convicted sex offender demonstrates monumentally bad judgment," Warren told CNN.⁴
The Center for American Progress immediately announced Summers was "stepping away from public commitments immediately" and ending his fellowship at the left-wing think tank.⁴
Harvard's student newspaper revealed Summers also sought hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from Epstein for his wife's poetry project after Epstein's 2008 conviction.⁵
The Wall Street Journal previously reported Summers asked Epstein for a $1 million donation, though Epstein only gave $110,000.⁵
Summers Built Career Kissing Clinton's Ring
Here's what makes this so much worse.
Summers didn't earn his power through talent or hard work.
He climbed Washington's ladder by being Bill Clinton's loyal servant.
Clinton appointed Summers as Undersecretary for International Affairs at Treasury in 1993.⁶
By 1995, Clinton promoted him to Deputy Secretary under Robert Rubin.⁶
When Rubin stepped down in 1999, Clinton made Summers Treasury Secretary.⁶
Summers went on to serve as President of Harvard from 2001 to 2006 before Barack Obama tapped him as Director of the National Economic Council during the financial crisis.
He's been the face of Democrat economic policy for 30 years, sitting on corporate boards, advising presidents, teaching at Harvard.
All while maintaining a cozy friendship with Jeffrey Epstein that he thought nobody would ever discover.
The emails show Summers wasn't just casually acquainted with Epstein.
He was flying on Epstein's private jet as early as 1998 when he was Deputy Treasury Secretary under Clinton.⁷
Flight logs reveal Summers took at least four trips on that aircraft, including a December 2005 flight to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands – you know, right near Epstein's private island where unspeakable crimes occurred.⁷
In email exchanges, Summers also made sexist comments about women to Epstein, writing in October 2017 that men could be banned from social media sites because "they hit on a few women 10 years ago."⁸
This from a guy who at 64 was actively trying to pressure his own student into an affair she clearly didn't want.
The documents show Summers kept up regular contact with Epstein through July 5, 2019 – literally one day before federal agents arrested Epstein on sex trafficking charges.⁹
One day.
Summers announced Monday he's "deeply ashamed" and stepping back from public life.
Too late.
Trump already ordered a federal criminal investigation, and Attorney General Pam Bondi isn't known for going easy on corrupt elites who think the rules don't apply to them.
Democrats weaponized Epstein's name against Trump for years, desperate to tie him to the convicted sex offender despite zero evidence of wrongdoing.
Now their own ruling class is getting exposed for actually being Epstein's close friends – flying on his jets, seeking his counsel, staying loyal long after his crimes became public.
And the same media outlets that breathlessly reported every Epstein-Trump conspiracy theory are suddenly very quiet about a Clinton Treasury Secretary texting a pedophile for relationship advice in 2019.
Funny how that works.
