Larry Summers, Bill Gates: Fallout from Epstein files is wideningPolitics 25.02.2026

The fallout from the release of Jeffrey Epstein's documents is expanding, impacting prominent figures like former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who announced his resignation from Harvard University on February 25. This follows Bill Gates' discussion of his Epstein connections at a Gates Foundation town hall on February 24. The Justice Department's release of three million pages of documents from its investigation into the accused sex trafficker has implicated numerous celebrities, political, and business leaders, raising questions about potential future investigations. Nobel Prize-winning professor Richard Axel also stepped down as co-director of the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute due to his association with Epstein. The ongoing scrutiny extends to figures like Prince Andrew, who faced arrest on February 19, and Peter Mandelson, who was fired from his diplomatic post in September. The Clintons are scheduled to give depositions to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on February 26 and 27, respectively, regarding their ties to Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial for federal sex trafficking charges.
