Kathy Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs general counsel, announced her resignation after the release of documents revealing a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The documents included emails and correspondence spanning years after Epstein's 2008 conviction on sex crimes charges. Ruemmler, a former federal prosecutor and White House Counsel under President Obama, had previously downplayed her connection to Epstein, describing it as professional and expressing regret for knowing him. The release of these documents prompted her departure from the top legal position at Goldman Sachs. The documents revealed the two individuals were especially close, years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction on sex crimes charges, when he became a registered sex offender.
