Top Female Lawyer Pays Price for Getting Epstein’s Vile Emails

Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler will step down from her role after the newly-released Epstein files showed that she maintained a relationship with him beyond his first conviction for child prostitution.

A Goldman Sachs spokesperson confirmed on Thursday that Ruemmler, who previously served as White House counsel to President Barack Obama, will resign effective June 30. The 54-year-old has been with Goldman since 2020.

Ruemmler told the Financial Times, “I made the determination that the media attention on me, relating to my prior work as a defence attorney, was becoming a distraction.”
