In a statement released Monday to The Harvard Crimson, Summers said it was part of an effort "to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me."
The announcement follows the release of seven years’ worth of correspondence between Summers and the disgraced financier Jeffrey E. Epstein by the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The documents showed the two men continued to exchange messages as late as July 5, 2019, which was just one day before Epstein’s arrest on new sex-trafficking charges.
In the hundreds of messages released, Summers also appeared to place trust in Epstein and confided to him about his pursuit of a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee.
Among the released messages was one from November 2018 in which Epstein describes himself as Summers’ "wing man," as he continued advising Summers on the relationship for months.
