"Kathryn Ruemmler, the erstwhile chief legal officer and general counsel at Goldman Sachs, resigned on Thursday after documents released by the Department of Justice showed she had a far more extensive relationship with convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein than she had previously claimed. Ruemmler, who served as White House counsel under President Barack Obama, had maintained for years that she had a strictly professional relationship with Epstein."
"But communications in the Department of Justice's latest release of over 3 million pages of Epstein documents depicted a much closer relationship between the two. Ruemmler accepted gifts from Epstein, talked about her romantic life, and advised the disgraced financier on how to handle the media scrutiny over abuse allegations against him. Her reference to Epstein as Uncle Jeffrey in one message to a colleague sparked widespread media attention over the last few weeks."
Kathryn Ruemmler resigned from Goldman Sachs after Department of Justice documents showed a substantially closer relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than she had previously described. The DOJ release included communications from over three million pages that depicted a personal connection beyond professional interaction. Ruemmler accepted gifts from Epstein, discussed her romantic life with him, and advised him on managing media scrutiny related to abuse allegations. One message referred to Epstein as 'Uncle Jeffrey,' which generated media attention. Ruemmler said her responsibility was to put Goldman Sachs's interests first in confirming her resignation. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said he accepted and respected her decision and that she will be missed.
