McKee Calls on Foulkes to Return Thousands in Donations From Summers - Epstein Crony

Governor Dan McKee’s campaign on Friday called on Helena Foulkes to return thousands in contributions from Larry Summers, whose close ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were revealed last week in emails released by the House Oversight Committee.

 

Summers, the former President of Harvard and former U.S Secretary of the Treasury, had an ongoing “bromance” with Epstein even after his conviction of sexual abuse of underage women. Summers came under harsh criticism for sexist comments in 2005.

Earlier this year, Foulkes described herself as “still close to this day” with Summers.

 

Campaign finance records reveal that Foulkes has received $6,000 in contributions from Larry Summers since 2021.

 

Foulkes has attempted to distance herself from Summers but has refused to return Summers’ donations.

 

"Helena Foulkes must immediately return the thousands in campaign contributions she received from Larry Summers and explain why she maintains a relationship with someone so closely associated with Jeffrey Epstein," said Christina Freundlich, McKee campaign spokesperson. "Her own words – that she and Summers are 'still close to this day' – continue a disturbing pattern of her ties to the elite who rig the system to enable heinous crimes. This isn't complicated: our state deserves leaders who understand basic decency and take responsibility for their choices."
