Former Obama White House Counsel; resigned as Goldman Sachs CLO in Feb 2026 after Epstein ties exposed

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Kathryn Ruemmler, Chief Legal Officer at Goldman Sachs and former White House counsel to President Barack Obama, resigned from her position effective June 30, 2026, following the Department of Justice release of extensive documents detailing her close personal relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Between 2014 and 2019, Ruemmler maintained frequent contact with Epstein, accepted expensive gifts including Hermès handbags, Fendi fur coats, and spa treatments, called him "Uncle Jeffrey" and "sweetie" in emails, and advised him on media strategy regarding his 2008 sex crimes conviction. Documents released in February 2026 also indicated she was among the individuals Epstein called from prison immediately after his July 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges. Goldman Sachs accepted her resignation on February 12, 2026.
