Larry Summers, a former Harvard professor, spent part of his 2005 honeymoon with his new bride, Elisa F. New, on a private island owned by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Flight logs examined by the Harvard Crimson revealed that Summers and New flew to Epstein’s private island shortly after their wedding in December 2005.
Summers’ spokesman confirmed the brief visit, stating that it occurred long before Epstein’s arrest.
The honeymoon flight included other passengers like Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein’s pilot, Larry Visoski.
Summers’ visit to Epstein’s island coincided with the time when authorities were investigating Epstein and his legal team, which included Summers’ colleague.
The recent revelations about Summers’ association with Epstein have raised concerns and impacted his career.
Summers faced criticism and demands for resignation from Harvard, with further calls for investigation into his ties with Epstein.
In response to the backlash, Summers announced stepping back from public commitments to rebuild trust.
Despite initial intentions to continue teaching, Summers later decided to withdraw from teaching classes.
