No one's name appears in the Epstein files more than that of Lesley Groff, his assistant. Reading through the thousands of emails, a troubling question arises: what did she know? By Sophie Elmhirst. Read by Norma Butikofer. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/longreadpod
Harvard University and Bard College are facing renewed congressional scrutiny over whether their relationships with Jeffrey Epstein helped him rebuild his reputation and maintain access to elite academic circles after his criminal conduct was known. Representative Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is demanding a fuller accounting from both schools, arguing that their previous internal investigations were incomplete or misleading. He is seeking records involving Epstein's donations, research funding, faculty relationships, admissions activity and institutional decision-making. At Harvard, the inquiry focuses partly on donations made after the university said it had stopped accepting Epstein's money, as well as his extensive contacts with former Harvard president Larry Summers and other academics. Epstein gave more than $9 million to Harvard and affiliated programs between 1998 and 2008.Bard is also being pressed to make outgoing president Leon Botstein available for a transcribed interview and to release the full findings of its investigation into his dealings with Epstein. Bard's independent review found no illegal conduct by Botstein, but concluded that he was not fully candid about the relationship, failed to recognize the risks Epstein posed to the college and its students, and did not disclose consulting fees received from an Epstein-controlled entity. Raskin cited evidence suggesting Epstein used his higher-education connections not only to rehabilitate himself socially but potentially to maintain and expand his exploitation of women. Harvard and Bard were asked to provide the requested information by July 1, as lawmakers seek to determine how prestigious institutions continued granting Epstein credibility, access and influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Harvard and Bard face fresh questions from lawmakers over ties to Epstein | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian

After newly released government documents and emails revealed a longstanding personal and professional relationship between Larry Summers and Epstein, Summers announced he will step down from his faculty position at Harvard University at the end of the 2025-26 academic year. Harvard confirmed that his decision comes amid an ongoing university review of records related to Epstein's connections with faculty and leadership, which showed Summers maintained frequent communication with Epstein over several years, including correspondence about personal matters and introductions involving women. Summers has already been on leave since late 2025 and relinquished leadership roles such as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government; he also resigned from high-profile board positions, including at OpenAI, as the controversy expanded.The fallout from the Epstein files has dramatically shifted Summers's standing in academia and public life. Although there is no evidence he was involved in criminal activity, the release of emails and other documents showing close ties to Epstein — including visits, frequent exchanges, and his name appearing repeatedly in the files — sparked institutional and public pressure. Summers, a former U.S. Treasury secretary and one-time Harvard president, expressed that his decision was difficult and framed it as an opportunity to focus on independent research, but his resignation underscores the broader repercussions that association with Epstein continues to have for powerful figures across academic and professional spheres.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Larry Summers to resign as Harvard University professor amid Epstein falloutBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Congressional Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a set of 19 photos from a larger trove of over 95,000 images obtained from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, aiming to shed light on his social connections. The photos include well-known figures such as President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, Larry Summers, Woody Allen, and Prince Andrew, often shown in social settings with Epstein or others; some images show Trump with unidentified women whose faces are redacted and others depict social scenes on jets or at events. None of the released photos directly show criminal acts, and their context and dates are not provided, but Democrats argue they raise important questions about Epstein's associations with powerful individuals and call for fuller transparency as part of a broader investigation. The release is part of an ongoing effort by lawmakers to review and make public materials from Epstein's estate and related government files.The photo release has quickly become political: **House Democrats say the images underscore a need to end what they call a “cover-up” and demand that the Department of Justice release the full set of Epstein files under the recently passed Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires federal release of related documents by a mid-December deadline. Republicans and White House officials have criticized the release as selective and politically motivated, accusing Democrats of cherry-picking photos to create a narrative rather than present an objective record, and emphasizing that the photos do not demonstrate wrongdoing by anyone pictured. The disclosures have reignited public debate over Epstein's network and the extent of powerful people's associations with him, even as broader document releases and further image batches are expected in the coming weeks.to contact me:Disturbing photo on Epstein's desk sparks horror over 'incapacitated young girl passed out on couch' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
From Richard Dawkins to Larry Summers, brilliant minds get pulled in. I sat down with the journalist Virginia Heffernan for a recent conversation on Cults, Culture & Coercion to talk about who falls for the Trump cult and why. Virginia spent time inside a group of academics and intellectuals sponsored by Jeffrey Epstein, called Edge, run by literary agent John Brockman. She wrote about involvement in the Epstein cult for The New Republic. She told me she was fortunately kept at arm's length from the worst of it. “I was only there as a fig leaf because they didn't have any women,” she said. “They didn't want me at the parties or on the island.” She watched the dynamics around her. Edge included Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary and Harvard president. The Epstein correspondence released by the House Oversight Committee in November 2025 documents a years-long stream of personal advice Summers sought from a convicted sex offender. In the messages, Summers asked Epstein for guidance on his pursuit of a younger woman he described as a mentee. Epstein called himself Summers' wing man and urged Summers to play the long game by keeping the woman in a forced holding pattern (Harvard Crimson, November 17, 2025). Virginia framed it bluntly: “I would venture to say someone you would least expect to fall under a spell. These are grown men who should know better.” Virginia writes the Magic and Loss Substack, hosts the Omni Shambles podcast, and contributes to The New Republic. The 10th anniversary of her book Magic and Loss has her circling back to a question she has carried since 2016. I thanked Virginia for reading my book and then being the first media person to bravely and publicly support what I wrote about. She wrote a Los Angeles Times op-ed that it was the “best explanatory framework” for what was happening politically. She then went on CNN to be interviewed about it. This led to Brian Stelter interviewing me about my book for his CNN show Reliable Sources. She put it plainly: “I was trying to solve a problem in my mind, which was, how did we get here? And you came along with your book; The Cult of Trump and you did me the favor of giving me a framework.” This is a fascinating interview with a crack journalist. Learn more about your ad choices.

Recently unsealed Department of Justice records show that **Jeffrey Epstein named Jes Staley and Larry Summers as potential executors in earlier draft versions of his estate planning documents from the 2010s, though neither appeared in the final will he signed in 2019. According to the newly released materials under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Staley first appeared in a 2012 draft as a “successor executor” and was later listed as a full executor in versions from 2013 and 2014, while Summers was named a successor executor in a 2014 revision. These designations would have given both men significant authority over Epstein's vast estate if the primary executors were unable or unwilling to serve — a striking inclusion given their high public profiles. However, in the final will drafted shortly before Epstein's death, both men were removed and are absent from the 2019 document that ultimately governs the estate.Oh these are the guys we're supposed to tiptoe around for? These are the delicate reputations the system keeps clearing its throat to protect? A Wall Street lifer who can't explain his Epstein emails without tripping over himself, and an academic power broker who spent years pretending his association with Epstein was some innocent clerical error? These are the men whose good names require sealed files, careful wording, and institutional panic? Give me a break. If the truth about a dead sex trafficker's will is enough to embarrass you, then maybe the embarrassment isn't the problem — maybe it's the résumé. The idea that the public must be shielded from learning that Jeffrey Epstein trusted these guys with his estate isn't discretion, it's comedy. And not even good comedy — it's the kind that only plays in boardrooms where accountability has been dead longer than Epstein himself.to conact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein named Larry Summers, Jes Staley as estate executors in draft wills | New York PostBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
The newly surfaced emails between Larry Summers and Jeffrey Epstein make one thing brutally clear: whatever polite public distance people pretended existed between them after Epstein's 2008 arrest simply didn't exist behind the scenes. The tone of the correspondence isn't stiff, cautious, or arm's-length; it's friendly, familiar, and deeply transactional. Summers wasn't treating Epstein like a radioactive embarrassment—he was treating him like a wealthy fixer whose money, network, and influence still had value. Even after Epstein became a convicted sex offender, the emails show Summers casually asking for financial introductions, discussing fundraising, and maintaining the same easy rapport they shared before Epstein's downfall. The subtext isn't subtle: Summers still saw Epstein as a useful man to know.Even more telling is how seamlessly that relationship continued as if nothing catastrophic had happened at all. Epstein had just served jail time for exploiting minors, and yet Summers—former Treasury Secretary, former Harvard president, global power broker—was corresponding with him like they were still in the same elite club, untouched by the moral contamination that should've come with associating with a convicted predator. These exchanges reveal a mutual comfort that undermines every attempt to rewrite history or pretend that these ties were incidental. Summers kept going back to Epstein because Epstein was the kind of man powerful people liked having in their orbit: rich, connected, pliable, discreet, and willing to do what “respectable” institutions couldn't. The emails don't just expose a relationship—they expose the lie that anyone in that circle truly cut ties when the truth about Epstein finally came out.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Clinton Treasury chief kept in touch with Jeffrey Epstein years after conviction | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The bestselling author explains why so many of what he calls the Epstein class stayed in his orbit even after Epstein's crimes were widely known. Coles and Giridharadas dig into the strange rituals of this rarefied class and examine emails involving figures like Larry Summers and former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler. They also confront the darker question at the center of the scandal: How a network built on access, status, and mutual advantage created a culture where no one ever seemed to break ranks—even when they knew the crimes Jeffrey Epstein committed.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 68: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump doesn’t REALIZE that he’s screwed in Iran. He can't decide if he's won and we should applaud now, or if he'll win later and we should applaud then - when the reality is, he's in a quagmire and about two weeks from handing the Democrats a majority that even White House strategists think might be enough to impeach AND remove him next year. Key Republicans and everybody behind the scenes in MAGA are looking for off-ramps. Does Trump know? Will he be temporarily not-a-moron and take one of them? Is Trump in a fugue state? Dissociative behavior? Temporary amnesia? No awareness that there are consequences? You know – his normal state – only WORSE. First about Iran he said “any time I want it to end, it will end." Now about Iran he says it will continue indefinitely until they quote “literally could never build that country back.” Is there a strategy? A plan? Anything? In the most important document of the war, Senator Chris Murphy told us what he could of a semi-confidential briefing about Iran by the administration. They seem to think all they have to do is destroy all of Iran's armaments and they'll never ever find a way to replace them. And while he’s demanding the world bend to his will, again he is helping the Russians help the Iranians try to kill our people and our allies. Monday I mentioned it was the Russians locating American Assets in the middle east for Iran's benefit. Now Trump is indirectly funding Russian advisors helping Iran with its drone strategy. Is Trump even aware he is awake? And what the hell is this with him trying to guess the shoe size of his cabinet members and buying them shoes that were already out of style in 1966? PLUS what is it with Pete PTSD Hegseth? He has now BANNED all outside photographers from Pentagon briefings because he thought the Associated Press images of him were unflattering. But ALL images of Pete Hegseth are unflattering. B-Block (32:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Poor Adnan Virk misses by an inch after trying to out-sing Michael Buble. Bill Maher gets run over at an NBA game. Alina Habba brings us her umpteenth malapropism; she can't tell her Cahoots from her Cajones; and the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee can't tell the difference between 1947 and 47 years. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Hardly that. Things I found on an ancient cassette. A bunch of radio sportscasts I did in my first 90 days in this business - just the other day (in 1979). Enjoy, or skip them, I won't be offended either way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Agree or disagree: The Epstein fallout is now more about guilt by association than guilt by deeds." As millions of pages tied to Jeffrey Epstein become public, prominent figures are resigning, apologizing, and facing reputational ruin — often without charges or proven wrongdoing. Michael examines whether the national reaction has crossed from accountability into indiscriminate shaming. Are we abandoning the presumption of innocence in favor of public cancellation? With references to past DOJ norms, media scrutiny, and historical lessons from the McCarthy era, this episode asks whether knowing Epstein is being treated as equivalent to criminal conduct — and what that means for due process in America.

The US embassy said Harare had pulled out of negotiations over a new health aid agreement which would have provided 367 million dollars over five years.

Also on the programme: The influential economist, Larry Summers, resigns from Harvard over the Epstein files and the Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, apologises to staff about his links with the convicted sex offender; and we'll hear why Emperor penguins are facing the threat of extinction.

Send a textEp 275 — I start with a tribute to Eric Dane who just passed from ALS. I met him and Rebecca Gayheart at Chris Kattan's wedding when I was maid of honor and I share what stood out about him that night. I tell you about Rebecca's new man Peter Morton who started Hard Rock Cafe and sold it for over a billion, his son Harry Morton who died at 38, and his stepdaughter Domino Harvey the bounty hunter. Then I get into the link between pesticides and ALS and how to protect yourself and your family. Full anti-inflammatory diet liver update — I went from moderate to MILD and my liver is regenerating. Plus I'm starting a menopause journey every woman needs to hear. Then the gossip — Gretchen Rossi is doing a master class with MLM partners selling peptides and I break down what's really going on. The Kelly Dodd vs Dr. Divya Srinivasan feud — ALL the receipts from both sides including Kelly's deleted videos. EXCLUSIVE Jill Zarin tea — I was at the Hollywood Reporter shoot when she was about to be fired from RHONY and nobody online has gotten this story right. Then Prince Andrew — I called a friend arrested in the UK and take you through what Andrew went through inside that police station. I explain the Peter Mandelson connection, the Chinese spy, the UAE dealings and why King Charles's statement was way more calculated than people realize. I asked Claude AI what it thought about Anthropic's safety lead quitting — it basically turned on its own company. And the last 40 minutes — the Holy Grail from the Epstein email — Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Google founders on Epstein's 727, Brock Pierce explaining Bitcoin, world leaders, a hundred billion dollars at one dinner. I've never seen anyone cover this.

Today Ron Simmons unpacks the latest Epstein file fallout, listing major resignations, such as Thomas Pritzker, Larry Summers, and Morgan McSweeney, as well as the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. He uses these men to warn about how “bad company ruins good morals” for both public figures and families. He then analyzes Marco Rubio's Munich Security Conference speech on Western civilization, sovereignty, and strong allies, contrasting it with AOC's bumbling on Taiwan and Marxist definition of culture. Ron then offers practical financial advice for young families and answers listener questions on raising godly kids, government assistance, marriage prep, and why Christianity is true.

The Epstein files have now ensnared figures across multiple countries. In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under mounting pressure to resign after his top aides, including ambassador Peter Mandelson and chief of staff Morgan McSweeney, stepped down amid revelations about their ties to Epstein. In Norway, former Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland has been arrested and criminally charged. Diplomat Mona Juul faces a corruption investigation. France's former culture minister Jack Lang resigned under criminal inquiry. In academia, Larry Summers of Harvard, Joi Ito of MIT, and others have lost positions at major institutions. In business, Leon Black paid Epstein $170 million, Thomas Pritzker stepped down from Hyatt, and Casey Wasserman faces defections ahead of the 2028 LA Olympics. In law, Brad Karp of Paul Weiss and Goldman Sachs counsel Katherine Romler both had deep ties to Epstein revealed through emails. Alex Acosta, the federal prosecutor who cut Epstein's sweetheart plea deal in 2008, allowing a man facing 240 years in prison to serve 13 months with work release, later became Trump's Secretary of Labor. And Pam Bondi, who served as Florida Attorney General for eight years while Epstein was active in her jurisdiction, did nothing, and continues to cover for those involved.

Larry Summers and Jeffrey Epstein were connected through overlapping elite academic, financial, and political networks rather than any formally acknowledged partnership, but the relationship has raised persistent ethical and reputational questions. Epstein cultivated proximity to power by attaching himself to influential figures, and Summers—then a central node in global economics as former U.S. Treasury Secretary and later president of Harvard—was part of the world Epstein aggressively courted. Epstein donated money connected to Harvard-linked initiatives during and after Summers' tenure, and he leveraged those institutional ties to maintain legitimacy even after his 2008 sex-crime conviction. Critics argue that Summers' broader ecosystem helped normalize Epstein's continued access to elite spaces, particularly as Epstein sought to launder his reputation through academia and intellectual patronage.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Jeffrey Epstein's entanglement with Leon Black and Larry Summers runs through the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation and its flagship project, the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), born out of the wreckage of the 2008 financial crisis. Black, the billionaire Apollo founder, bankrolled INET with roughly $25 million and installed himself as its chief patron, while Summers — fresh off his controversial presidency at Harvard and a career bouncing between Wall Street and Washington — became one of its intellectual faces. Epstein, already a convicted sex offender by 2008, quietly emerged as a financial conduit and behind-the-scenes broker for INET and its affiliates, using donor networks, shell foundations, and elite access to move money and cultivate influence. Through Epstein's foundation, funds were routed into academic projects, conferences, and research hubs that placed him back inside elite academic circles that had supposedly shut him out, laundering his reputation through economics, philanthropy, and intellectual respectability.What makes the IPI/INET web so corrosive is how thoroughly it fused money, power, and reputational cover. Black would later admit paying Epstein $158 million for “tax advice,” an explanation so implausible it collapsed under its own weight, while Summers maintained institutional ties to projects and donors connected to Epstein long after his 2008 conviction was public record. Epstein was not a peripheral donor — he was a facilitator, recruiter, and fixer who connected hedge-fund money, Ivy League legitimacy, and political access in a closed loop that insulated all participants from scrutiny. The IPI ecosystem gave Epstein exactly what he needed after Florida: proximity to young academics, international travel, visa sponsorships, and an elite shield that made him look like a disgraced financier turned reformed intellectual benefactor. It wasn't an accident, and it wasn't ignorance — it was a deliberate system where billionaires, former Treasury secretaries, and a convicted predator all found mutual benefit inside the same polished academic machine.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report On today's program: After the Clintons agree to testify before Congress about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump says he feels bad that "they're going after Bill Clinton," adding that "Bill Clinton got me, he understood me." The comments stand in contrast to Trump's remarks during the second presidential debate in 2016, when he said there was "no president in history who has been more abusive to women than Bill Clinton." Trump announces a shift in his mass deportation policy, saying that they no longer want to force themselves into cities where they are not wanted. He wants the mayors and governors to ask for his help and to say "please". As Trump shows vulnerability around ICE, instead of seizing on this opportunity, Hakeen Jeffries and Chuck Schumer use this moment to soften their demands around ICE reform. Dan Friedman, senior reporter in Mother Jones' DC Bureau joins the program to discuss his piece in MJ "Trump's War on History". In the Fun Half: Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join the show. In a released audio recording of a phone conversation between Larry Summers, Ehud Barak and Jeffrey Epstein reveals Barak's anxiety of Israel's decent into a single state with an Arab majority. In another released audio recording, Jeffrey Epstein is advising Ehud Barak to reach out to Peter Thiel to get a spot on Palantir's board. A year after that phone call, Palantir opened an office in Israel. An in-depth piece by Jake Lahut on Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) reveals her alleged heavy drinking. Mace says that she has a condition that prevents her from being able to drink alcohol despite there being photos, videos and disputes from former staffers that contradict the claim. all that and more To connect and organize with your local ICE rapid response team visit ICERRT.com The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

This week, Ron Steslow and Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) break down the newly released Epstein emails, what they show, what they don't and why the national security implications are far bigger than the headlines. They dig into Epstein's attempts to insert himself into global politics including offering Russia “insight” on Donald Trump and the strange connection between Larry Summers and China's Belt and Road Initiative Then, they walk through why Congress forced the DOJ's hand, why Pam Bondi now controls what gets redacted, and why the lack of institutional trust means any carve-outs will only fuel more conspiracy and chaos. After that, they turn to Poland, where a Russian-backed sabotage attack on a key supply line to Ukraine has triggered a crisis inside NATO. In Politicology+ they dive into back-to-back Oval Office visits from two Middle Eastern leaders, and what Trump's defense of the Saudi Crown Prince reveals about America's shifting posture in the region.

Legislative Action and Presidential Approval The U.S. House voted 427–1 to release Epstein-related documents, followed by unanimous Senate approval. President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, requiring the DOJ to release unclassified records and declassify materials where possible within 30 days. Trump publicly celebrated the signing, calling prior criticism a “Democratic hoax” and asserting his administration has nothing to hide. Political Backfire Narrative Democrats initially demanded the release to harm Trump politically, assuming the files would implicate him. The documents expose Democratic ties to Epstein, calling it “one of the biggest political backfires in modern history.” Democratic Figures Named Mentions Bill and Hillary Clinton, alleging they risk legal exposure and have ignored subpoenas from the House Oversight Committee. Other names include Stacey Plaskett, Hakeem Jeffries, Bill Richardson, Larry Summers, George Mitchell, and others. Notes that Epstein donated 89% of his political contributions to Democratic and progressive causes between 1990 and 2018. Legal and Investigative Angle Suggests the DOJ is examining Epstein’s connections to high-profile Democrats. References subpoenas issued to the Clintons and eight other individuals. Raises the possibility of contempt charges similar to those faced by Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for ignoring congressional subpoenas. Flight Records and Media Coverage Points to flight logs showing Bill Clinton traveled on Epstein’s plane multiple times in the early 2000s. Criticizes media and Democratic leaders for alleged hypocrisy and lack of transparency. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about Democrats already regretting calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files as major Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries, Larry Summers and Stacey Plaskett get named in the latest email release; CNN's Kaitlan Collins grilling Democrat Hakeem Jeffries about his attempts to get money from Jeffrey Epstein; Hakeem Jeffries' pathetic attempts to defend Stacey Plaskett's Jeffrey Epstein connection; Lee Zeldin's hilarious response to Jasmine Crockett accusing him of taking money from Jeffrey Epstein without ever realizing it was a different Jeffrey Epstein; Donald Trump's brutal new nickname for Majorie Taylor Greene; Joy Reid finally admitting that progressives were wrong to allow transwomen into women's locker rooms; Brandon Johnson telling "I've Had It Podcast" host Jennifer Welch that Trump's use of ICE and the National Guard in Chicago is actually an attempt to relitigate the Civil War; Border Czar Tom Homan telling Fox News' Jesse Watters how the ICE protests in Charlotte North Carolina are actually helping justify more ICE agents in the area; and much more.
