"Ruemmler said of their connection, "I was a defense attorney when I dealt with Jeffrey Epstein. I got to know him as a lawyer and that was the foundation of my relationship with him. I had no knowledge of any ongoing criminal conduct on his part, and I did not know him as the monster he has been revealed to be.""
"Ruemmler seems skeptical about the job, and Epstein says "there is the off chance that [hedge fund founder Ken Griffin] might just be interested in a woman." Ruemmler thumbs her nose at the notion of DEI, writing, "I ain't no affirmative action." Epstein responds, "i meant romantically." And then comes the stomach churning line, "Oh, Jesus - meaning you are going to trade one of your Russians for my comp?!!""
Kathryn Ruemmler, then a partner at Latham & Watkins and later Goldman's Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, exchanged thousands of communications with Jeffrey Epstein. Ruemmler characterized their connection as lawyer-client and denied knowledge of ongoing criminal conduct, saying she did not know him as the monster he was revealed to be. Documents show Epstein offered career advice and negotiation help, including discussions about a potential Citadel role. June 2016 emails contain joking and suggestive language about trading 'Russians' and referencing affirmative action, raising concerns given Epstein's history of paying 'ostensible foreign models.' Ruemmler never worked at Citadel.
