". . .Ruemmler, who served as Obama’s White House general counsel and as a federal prosecutor, exchanged emails with Epstein while she was a partner with the law firm Latham & Watkins, where she was global chair of the white-collar defense and investigations practice.
The Journal in 2023 reported that Ruemmler “had dozens of meetings with Epstein in the years after her White House service and before she became a top lawyer at Goldman Sachs ... in 2020.”
“He also planned for her to join a 2015 trip to Paris and a 2017 visit to Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean,” the Journal reported then. The newspaper, citing a Goldman Sachs spokesman, reported that Epstein introduced her to potential legal clients, including Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft.
Goldman has previously said that Ruemmler had a professional relationship with Epstein connected to her role at Latham, but Latham also has said he was not a client of that firm.
Her missives with Epstein, which the House Oversight Committee released on Wednesday, were exchanged years after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 in a Florida state court to prostitution charges involving an underage girl.
Epstein served 13 months in jail in that case and had to register as a sex offender.
“Trump is living proof of the adage that it is better to be lucky than smart,” Ruemmler wrote Epstein on Aug. 26, 2015, according to the email thread received by House Oversight from Epstein’s estate pursuant to a subpoena.
Epstein, who previously had been a long-time friend of Trump’s, replied, “ill give you details when I see you. when are you in ny?”
Ruemmler replied by saying she was going to New York two days later, and was considering driving there.
“I will stop to pee and get gas at a rest stop on the New Jersey turnpike, will observe all of the people there who are at least 100 pounds overweight, will have a mild panic attack as a result of the observation, and will then decide that I am not eating another bite of food for the rest of my life out of fear that I will end up like one of these people,” Ruemmler wrote.
Months later, in January 2016, Epstein emailed Ruemmler, saying, “I stopped talking to [Bill] Clinton when he swore, with whole hearted conviction to me, that he had done something. , he had forgotten that he also swore the exact opposite to me only weeks before.”
On July 14, 2016, Epstein writes Ruemmler: “pretty black dress. you and ruth ginsburg.”
Ruemmler replied less than 20 minutes later: “I like that dress ... narciso Rodriguez. Where did you see that picture? RBG [the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg] was my date to state dinner.”
Kathryn Ruemmler is Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel at Goldman Sachs. In addition to serving on the firm’s Management Committee, Ms. Ruemmler is the Chair of the Firmwide Conduct Committee, Co-Vice Chair of the Firmwide Reputational Risk Committee, and a member of the Firmwide Enterprise Risk Committee.
