Goldman Sachs lawyer Kathy Ruemmler set to face Congress over Jeffrey Epstein ties
NY Post
Goldman Sachs’ outgoing general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler was asked Tuesday to testify before the House Oversight Committee about her ties to Jeffrey Epstein, escalating a congressional probe into the late financier and sex offender’s elite network.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote in a letter reviewed by The Post that the panel believes Ruemmler holds key insights for its wide-ranging Epstein investigation.
She was set to appear for the congressional grilling on April 21. It would come after high-profile appearances from Bill and Hillary Clinton last week before the committee.
The existence of the letter was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
“Ms. Ruemmler welcomes the opportunity to appear before the Committee. At the time she interacted with Jeffrey Epstein, she was a practicing criminal defense attorney and shared a client with him,” a rep for the top lawyer told The Post. “She has done nothing wrong and had no knowledge of any ongoing criminal activity on his part.”
A Goldman Sachs spokesperson declined to comment.
