Overview
- Ruemmler said she will leave her posts as chief legal officer and general counsel on June 30, 2026, citing distraction from media attention on her prior defense work.
- Goldman CEO David Solomon accepted her resignation and praised her service, noting she has been a mentor and key advisor since joining the firm in 2020.
- DOJ materials show years of personal communications with Epstein, including messages signed with affectionate language and references to him as “Uncle Jeffrey.”
- The records document expensive gifts from Epstein to Ruemmler—such as designer handbags, a fur-trimmed coat, and spa appointments—as well as her suggested wording for his press responses in 2019.
- Law-enforcement notes indicate Epstein attempted to call Ruemmler the night of his July 6, 2019 arrest; she maintains she knew him in a professional capacity and regrets ever knowing him, as other high-profile figures also exit roles following the releases.
