Larry Summers told Harvard student newspaper in a statement that he is deeply ashamed and takes full responsibility for what he said was a misguided decision to continue to communicate with Jeffrey Epstein.
He said the move is part of an effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with those closest to him.
Emails between Summers and Epstein were among thousands of documents released last week by the House Oversight Committee.
They show the two remained in contact until just before Epstein's arrest in 2019 for sex trafficking minors.
Summers has not been accused by any of Epstein's victims, but last week President Trump named him and other prominent Democrats when he urged the Justice Department to investigate them.

Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is responding to the blowup with President Trump, telling CNN today that he could be putting her life in danger.
Greene has recently been critical of President Trump's focus on foreign affairs, and she's taken on GOP leadership over the government shutdown.
But she says it's the Epstein files that prompted Trump to begin attacking her on social media.
Greene is one of four House Republicans who joined Democrats in signing a petition that forces a House vote on the Epstein files release.
Trump officially rescinded his support in a post on Friday.
