Goldman Sachs Top Lawyer Resigns Over Epstein Ties
📰 What Happened
Kathryn Ruemmler is stepping down as the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs. She will leave at the end of June 2026. Her decision comes after documents showed she had friendly email talks with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.
💡 Why It Matters
This shows how ties to Jeffrey Epstein can still hurt careers years after his death. Ruemmler was a key advisor to Goldman's CEO and a former White House lawyer. The news raises questions about who in powerful positions knew Epstein and what they knew about his crimes.
🔮 What Happens Next
Goldman Sachs will need to find a new top lawyer to replace Ruemmler. More documents about Epstein's connections may still be released in the future.
