Kathy Ruemmler, a lawyer for Goldman Sachs, one of the major banks in the U.S., announced that she would resign after her name appeared in the Epstein documents published by the U.S. Department of Justice.
According to a report by the Financial Times, Ruemmler, who also served as a former White House advisor to former U.S. President Barack Obama, decided to leave her position at Goldman Sachs as of June 30. Ruemmler stated in an interview with the newspaper that she regretted knowing Epstein.
"HE WAS A FRIEND TO ALL OF US AND WILL BE MISSED"
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon stated, "He was a friend to all of us and will be missed. I accept his resignation and respect his decision."
REFERRED TO EPSTEIN AS "UNCLE JEFFREY"
The documents revealed that Ruemmler referred to Epstein as "Uncle Jeffrey" in 2018 and that there were communications between them during the period of 2014-2019.
RECEIVED FUR COATS AND LUXURY BAGS
It was revealed that Ruemmler received luxury handbags and fur coats from Epstein, and this occurred after Epstein's arrest in 2008 and his being known as a predator.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Epstein, who was prosecuted for sexually abusing dozens of underage girls and establishing a prostitution network, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York, on August 10, 2019.
The disclosed Epstein case files included famous names such as Prince Andrew, U.S. President Donald Trump, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, actor Kevin Spacey, singer Michael Jackson, illusionist David Copperfield, lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also stated that as a result of its investigation with the U.S. Department of Justice, no evidence was found regarding the existence of a "client list" consisting of famous individuals, and it was concluded that Epstein, who was alleged to have been murdered to cover up the crimes of individuals including government officials, celebrities, and businesspeople, actually committed suicide in his cell.
