A senior legal executive at Goldman Sachs has left the firm after newly released Justice Department materials tied her to communications with Jeffrey Epstein.

Kathy Ruemmler, who previously served as White House counsel under President Barack Obama, resigned from her role overseeing Goldman’s legal, regulatory and reputational matters. The bank confirmed her departure on Friday, Feb. 13.

Her exit follows the release of emails contained in documents related to the Epstein investigation. According to reporting by Reuters, the correspondence shows Ruemmler maintained contact with Epstein, accepted gifts from him — including wine and a handbag — and provided advice on how he might navigate media scrutiny surrounding his criminal conduct.

The records also indicate that in 2018, Ruemmler and Epstein exchanged messages discussing then-President Donald Trump’s potential legal exposure, including issues tied to a New York hush-money investigation. In one exchange cited in the documents, Ruemmler analyzed disclosure requirements and suggested that prior denials related to the matter could create additional legal vulnerability.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His associations with prominent political, business and social figures have remained under intense public examination.

Goldman Sachs did not release further comment beyond confirming that Ruemmler stepped down from her position.
