In what is just the beginning, the far-reaching implications of recent revelations regarding Jeffrey Epstein now have swept away a Goldman Sachs’ chief legal officer, Kathryn Ruemmler. The long time exec resigned after her extensive correspondence with the late financier came to light.
So far, the release of Epstein files not only triggered Ruemmler’s departure but also prompted the resignation of DP World’s CEO and has ignited political scrutiny, particularly regarding connections to Norway.
Emails disclosed in the files revealed Ruemmler maintained a personal relationship with Epstein, including messages in which she referred to him as “sweetie” and “Uncle Jeffrey.” Critics have characterized her resignation as a mere acknowledgment of being caught rather than a moral choice. On blue sky, a poignant commentator remarked, “Resignation is not accountability,” highlighting a growing demand for greater transparency and responsibility among high-ranking executives.
Ruemmler, who previously served as a key legal advisor to President Barack Obama, was involved in shaping cabinet nominations, making her ties to Epstein particularly controversial. Following the announcement of her resignation, which can be traced back to unsolicited media attention on her relationship with Epstein, social media reactions quickly proliferated, with many calling for immediate measures against her.
