"A new trove of emails released Friday is shedding more light on the relationship between Kathryn Ruemmler, who is now Goldman Sachs' top lawyer, and Jeffrey Epstein - who sent her expensive gifts, including an Hermès bag. "So lovely and thoughtful! Thank you to Uncle Jeffrey!!!" Ruemmler wrote in 2018 after Epstein had something delivered to her New York apartment. Ruemmler's relationship with Epstein, a convicted sex offender, has been closely examined. Multiple disclosures of once-private emails have shown the pair had a much deeper relationship than was previously publicly known."
"Goldman spokesperson Tony Fratto said in a statement that it is "well known that Epstein often offered unsolicited favors and gifts to his many business contacts." "As Kathy has said many times, she had a professional association with Jeffrey Epstein when she was a lawyer in private practice, heading the defense and investigations practice at a global law firm," the statement said. "She regrets ever knowing him.""
""OH MY GOD!!! He is in so much =rouble!!!! I am dying," Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff wrote in 2016, passing along Ruemmler's reaction to getting the Hermès handbag. "It is so beautiful." A receipt for the bag, a Jlypslere 31, showed it cost $9,350. It wasn't the only accessory she received from him. In a 2015 exchange, Ruemmler said she "absolutely love[d] the handbag" Epstein sent her for her 44th birthday."
