Larry Summers, 68, served as former President Bill Clinton's Treasury secretary and as former President Barack Obama's top economic advisor. He apparently also talked money with another former big wig in Washington, even when others refused to.
Even After the pedophile's conviction
According to documents recently obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Summers — touted by Politico last year as a "Democratic hero" — tried hitting up notorious pedophile and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein for cash after his conviction in 2008 for soliciting sex from little girls.

Harvard University reportedly took tens of millions of dollars from Epstein from 2001 to 2006 while Summers was president. However, when Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008, the university determined it wouldn't accept any more donations.
Summers, who appears on the flight log for Epstein's so-called Lolita Express numerous times, apparently made no such resolution.
Documents reportedly show that Summers scheduled dozens more meetings with the convicted pedophile from 2013 and 2016.
These were no mere boardroom meetings or chance encounters but dinners and other cozy rendezvous.
While a spokesman for Summers told the Journal that their interactions chiefly concerned "global economic issues," pet projects nevertheless came up on occasion.
Around 2014, Summers' current wife, Elisa New, an American literature professor at Harvard, reportedly wanted to hype her poetry coursework. Summers solicited Epstein — who by that time had been formally recognized as a sex offender for at least six years — for donations.
"I need small scale philanthropy advice. My life will be better if i raise $1m for Lisa," Summers said in an April 2014 email to the convicted pedophile. "Mostly it will go to make it a pbs series and for teacher training. Ideas?"
