The move from the association came weeks after the emails became public. Summers, a former Harvard president and US Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton, has faced sharp scrutiny in recent weeks after a trove of recently released emails detailed his years of correspondence with Epstein that continued until July 5, 2019 - the day before the disgraced financier was arrested on federal sex-trafficking charges.
Imagine, for a moment, that you first heard the name Larry Summers last week, when he showed up on what I've called Planet Epstein. That planet is an information ecosystem where all major global events are connected to the sex-trafficking conspiracy that supposedly rules the world. This is a metaphorical place, but not an imaginary one-you can find it on YouTube and in certain corners of TikTok and other social-media platforms.
Former United States Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has resigned from the OpenAI board, days after US President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate his and other prominent Democrats' ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The outlet Axios first reported the resignation on Wednesday.
"The millions of Americans who lost their jobs in the heartlands because we let China into the [World Trade Organization], which is something that Larry supported, that's what started this whole thing."
