The latest Jeffrey Epstein file dump has just blown the lid off Washington’s worst-kept secrets.
The Daily Caller reported that on Nov. 12, 2025, the House Oversight Committee unleashed a fresh batch of documents that reveal unsettling email exchanges between the late sex trafficker Epstein and a roster of American and international elites, dragging both Democratic and Republican heavyweights into a political firestorm.
These files aren’t just dusty relics; they’re a Pandora’s box of creepy correspondence that has everyone from former Presidents Joe Biden and Bill Clinton to economic guru Larry Summers squirming under the spotlight.
Summers, a former Treasury secretary and Obama adviser, finds himself in particularly hot water with emails showing him seeking Epstein’s advice on wooing women and even tossing out outdated notions about IQ differences between genders.
One exchange has Epstein cheekily calling Summers his “wing man,” a label that’s less flattering than it sounds when tied to a convicted predator.
Understandably, Summers announced he’s stepping back from the public eye, though he’s clinging to roles at Harvard, OpenAI, and Bloomberg—for now.
Here’s where it gets spicy: Congressional Democrats are demanding all Epstein files be released, even if it means torching their own party’s icons like Biden, Clinton, and Summers.
Progressive voices in the party, emboldened by populist figures like Zohran Mamdani, see this as a chance to purge the old guard and reshape the Democratic agenda, no matter who gets burned.
Meanwhile, questions swirl about why Biden didn’t release these files during his tenure—did he shield his pals, or was it just political cowardice?
On the other side of the aisle, President Trump isn’t escaping the heat, with mentions in the emails raising eyebrows about why his administration sat on these documents and initially blocked their release.
It’s a classic Washington mess—both sides pointing fingers while the public demands answers about a potential House vote to release everything and whether the Senate will play spoiler with backroom deals.
Adding fuel to the fire, U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton of the Southern District of New York is now digging into Epstein’s Democratic ties, ensuring this scandal won’t fade quietly.
Larry Summers tried to get ahead of the damage, telling POLITICO, “I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused.”
“I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein,” he continued, promising to step back from public life while still teaching. But let’s be honest—retreating to a Harvard ivory tower hardly screams accountability when you’ve been cozying up to a figure like Epstein.
Democratic Sen. Liz Warren didn’t mince words either, stating on Monday, “For decades, Larry Summers has demonstrated his attraction to serving the wealthy and well-connected, but his willingness to cozy up to a convicted sex offender demonstrates monumentally bad judgment.”
Well, Senator, when you’re right, you’re right—trust in Summers as a policy adviser or educator feels like a gamble no one should take after this debacle.
