Larry Summers And His Honeymoon Getaway To...Epstein's Island (11/23/25)

In December 2005, ten days after their wedding, Summers and New embarked on their honeymoon, travelling first to the Caribbean and then—according to publicly available flight logs—to Epstein’s private island. They departed from Bedford, Massachusetts, on December 21 on Epstein’s plane bound for St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, a typical staging point to transfer onward to Little Saint James. The records indicate that Summers and New, along with Epstein’s pilot and Ghislaine Maxwell as co-traveller, made a short stop on the island for less than a full day. A spokesperson for Summers later confirmed the brief visit, noting it took place “long before” Epstein’s first formal federal criminal charges. Although Summers has never been charged with any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, this honeymoon stop has become a focal point of scrutiny because it occurred while Epstein was already under investigation for alleged sexual crimes and because the island later became infamous for sex-trafficking allegations. The trip is now viewed as one of multiple documented occasions Summers flew aboard Epstein’s aircraft, including three flights during his tenure as president of Harvard University. to contact me: [email protected]
