Goldman lawyer Ruemmler to be questioned by House panel on Epstein ties
House investigators will question Kathryn Ruemmler over communications, gifts and advice linked to Jeffrey Epstein, as Goldman’s retention of her draws criticism.
- On Wednesday, Goldman Sachs General Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler faces congressional scrutiny regarding her ties to Jeffrey Epstein before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
- Justice Department documents released last month prompted Ruemmler to resign as general counsel in June, though she agreed to remain in an advisory role at Goldman Sachs to assist with the leadership transition.
- Records show Ruemmler accepted gifts from Epstein and coached him on dodging media inquiries while sharing "intimate details" about her dating life; Epstein called her cellphone on July 6, 2019, the night he was arrested.
- Ruemmler's continued presence at Goldman Sachs complicates the search for her successor, with external candidates wary of the role, while she has accused other executives of leaking damaging information to the media.
- Democratic Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi stated that "Congress must use Ms. Ruemmler's testimony to pull back the curtain on how Jeffrey Epstein built and maintained wealth," noting records revealed a "far more extensive relationship" than previously understood.
