Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathy Ruemmler to resign after emails show close ties to Jeffrey Epstein
Gifts and soup from ‘Uncle Jeffrey“: The Epstein ties that ended Kathy Ruemmler’s run at Goldman
AI Summary
Kathy Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs' top lawyer, will resign on June 30, 2026, following the release of emails showing a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The emails, released by the U.S. Department of Justice, revealed Ruemmler describing Epstein as an "older brother" and downplaying his sex crimes. Ruemmler, who previously served as White House counsel to President Barack Obama, had held her position at Goldman Sachs since 2020. Despite initially resisting calls for her resignation and calling Epstein a "monster" in recent statements, the emails showed a different relationship before his 2019 arrest, with Ruemmler referring to him as "Uncle Jeffrey." A Goldman Sachs spokesperson stated that Ruemmler "regrets ever knowing him."
