Kathryn Ruemmler Resigns After Epstein Documents Surface New Details

Kathryn “Kathy” Ruemmler — the Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel at Goldman Sachs and a former White House counsel — announced her resignation effective June 30, 2026 after newly released Department of Justice documents made public details of her relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The disclosures included emails showing she exchanged friendly messages with Epstein over several years, accepted expensive gifts from him, and at times referred to him with personal nicknames, which sparked intense media and public backlash and raised questions about her judgment and ties to him. Facing mounting scrutiny over those connections, Ruemmler concluded the attention had become too distracting for the firm, and she chose to step down.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said he respected her decision and praised her contributions, but the controversy surrounding her Epstein-related correspondence made her position untenable. The resignation followed weeks of reporting after the DOJ’s release of more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related records that flagged Ruemmler’s communications and gifts — a relationship she previously described as professional — and ultimately intensified internal and external pressure for her departure.
