"Kathy Ruemmler, the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs and former White House counsel to Barack Obama, has announced her resignation in the wake of emails showing a close relationship between her and Jeffrey Epstein, whom she referred to as Uncle Jeffrey. Ruemmler said in a statement on Thursday that she would step down as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of Goldman Sachs as of June 30, 2026."
"While Ruemmler has called Epstein a monster in recent statements, she had a much different relationship with him before he was arrested a second time for sex crimes in 2019 and later killed himself in a Manhattan jail; Ruemmler called Epstein Uncle Jeffrey in emails and said she adored him. During her time in private practice after she left the White House in 2014, Ruemmler received several expensive gifts from Epstein, including luxury handbags and a fur coat."
Kathy Ruemmler announced she will step down as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of Goldman Sachs effective June 30, 2026. She previously served as White House counsel to Barack Obama and had held Goldman's top legal post since 2020. Emails revealed a close personal relationship between Ruemmler and Jeffrey Epstein, including her referring to him as "Uncle Jeffrey" and telling him she adored him. She received luxury gifts from Epstein after his 2008 conviction, including handbags and a fur coat. Goldman policy requires pre-approval for gifts to avoid conflicts and anti-bribery risks. Ruemmler has more recently called Epstein a monster and a spokesperson said she regrets knowing him.
