"Those emails aren't the entirety of the communications between her and Epstein. Epstein's estate is keeping secret 277 additional emails between him and Ruemmler, saying they are protected by attorney-client confidentiality. Many of those emails contain discussions of lawsuits by women who accused Epstein of sexual assault, according to a court filing made public this week. The document, a 500-page list of emails the estate claims are privileged, indicates that Ruemmler gave Epstein legal advice or otherwise acted as his attorney."
"At the time, Ruemmler was a co-chair of the white-collar defense and investigations practice at the Big Law firm Latham & Watkins, which previously said Epstein wasn't a client of the firm. Ruemmler hasn't publicly said whether she worked as an attorney for Epstein in an individual capacity. Ruemmler - who now serves as Goldman Sachs' chief legal officer and general counsel - previously said she regrets her association with Epstein."
Epstein's estate is withholding 277 emails exchanged with Kathryn Ruemmler by asserting attorney-client privilege. The withheld messages reportedly include discussions of lawsuits brought by women who accused Epstein of sexual assault. A 500-page privilege log indicates Ruemmler provided legal advice or acted as Epstein's attorney. The emails span from October 2014 until June 2019, shortly before Epstein's arrest on federal sex-trafficking charges. Ruemmler served as co-chair of Latham & Watkins' white-collar practice at the time and now serves as Goldman Sachs' chief legal officer and general counsel. A legal dispute exists between Epstein victims and the estate executors over disclosure.
