Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is urging Harvard to cut ties with its former president Larry Summers after the release of his emails with Jeffrey Epstein. 

Emails released by a House committee last week showed years of conversations between Epstein and Summers, including messages about Summers' pursuance of a woman he referred to as his mentee. 

Warren, a former Harvard law professor, said Summers cannot be trusted with students due to his ties with Epstein. 

The former Treasury Secretary announced on Monday that he is stepping back from public commitments, but will continue to fulfill his teaching obligations at the university.
