Epstein files: Goldman Sachs top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler to step down after email fallout
Top Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler said Thursday night that she will leave the investment bank at the end of June, a decision that came after a flurry of news articles highlighting documents detailing the former White House counsel's often chummy email conversations with the notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.
Goldman, for months, has defended Ruemmler after Congress and then the Department of Justice released emails between her and Epstein, as well as other documents related to investigations of him.
Ruemmler, who has been a key advisor to Goldman CEO David Solomon since joining the bank in 2020, told the Financial Times on Thursday, "I made the determination that the media attention on me, relating to my prior work as a defence attorney, was becoming a distraction."
The FT first reported the 54-year-old's decision to leave Goldman, where she has been general counsel and chief legal officer, at the beginning of the summer.
