Overview
- Journalists reviewing millions of DOJ-released Epstein documents found extensive 2014–2019 emails between Epstein and Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler.
- The cache shows Ruemmler accepted gifts and referred to Epstein as “Uncle Jeffrey,” with messages detailing items such as a Hermès handbag and Apple Watch accessories.
- Emails indicate Epstein coached Ruemmler on job pursuits and lobbied influential figures, including outreach to Paul, Weiss chair Brad Karp and Larry Summers regarding roles at Facebook and Google.
- Correspondence shows Ruemmler assisted Epstein with messaging on press inquiries about his legal treatment, including drafting suggested responses in 2019.
- A Feb. 4 report says some Goldman partners are uneasy about the disclosures, though CEO David Solomon and spokesperson Tony Fratto have reiterated support, and separate emails include an unverified 2015 note from Cheryl Gould alleging a relationship involving Reid Weingarten.
