Harvard has revealed that it received about $9 million from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and his foundations.

The elite university admitted that it received the funding over a decade period that ended in 2007. 

In a letter to the community published on Thursday night, Harvard president Larry Bacow said the school was expanding its Epstein probe.
