Kathy Ruemmler

Kathy Ruemmler is a high-profile lawyer who served as Goldman Sachs' chief legal officer and former White House counsel to Barack Obama. Her resignation comes after emails revealed her close ties to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. The US Department of Justice released investigative files showing Ruemmler accepted gifts from Epstein and advised him on how to address media inquiries regarding his crimes. This development has raised concerns about Ruemmler's judgment and potential conflicts of interest. Her resignation is significant as it highlights the need for greater accountability among financial institutions and their executives. The recent revelations also underscore the ongoing impact of Epstein's crimes on those who knew him, including Ruemmler.
