"When high-powered Democratic attorney Kathryn Ruemmler - now the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs - needed to vent about Donald Trump's rise in politics, she turned to their mutual acquaintance, Jeffrey Epstein. "Trump is living proof of the adage that it is better to be lucky than smart," she told Epstein in an email in August 2015, while planning a visit to his Manhattan mansion."
"The emails, released by the House Oversight Committee this week, were exchanged during Trump's first term in office and before Ruemmler joined Goldman Sachs five years ago. Ruemmler has previously said she regrets her association with Epstein. "The personal emails exclusively occurred before Kathy worked at Goldman Sachs, when Ms. Ruemmler was the global head of the White Collar Defense practice at Latham and Watkins," Goldman Sachs spokesperson Tony Fratto told Business Insider Thursday."
"The two chatted frequently about the 2016 presidential election and transition. (Ruemmler wasn't a fan of Steve Mnuchin, who went on to become Trump's treasury secretary.) They shared gripes well into Trump's first term, as well as news articles on everything from Trump's approach to Big Tech companies to the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election."
Kathryn Ruemmler, a former high-powered Democratic attorney and current top lawyer at Goldman Sachs, exchanged candid emails with Jeffrey Epstein expressing strong negative opinions about Donald Trump. The emails span from 2015 through Trump's first term and include planning a visit to Epstein's Manhattan mansion, alarm over Trump's poll success, and repeated derogatory descriptions. The messages show frequent discussion of the 2016 election, the presidential transition, and news about Trump's interactions with Big Tech and the Mueller investigation. Goldman Sachs confirmed the emails predate Ruemmler's employment there and noted her prior professional relationship with Epstein.
