The former chief legal officer at Goldman Sachs will appear before a congressional committee to address her connections to the late Jeffrey Epstein, her representative announced Tuesday.
Kathryn Ruemmler stepped down from her position at the Wall Street giant following revelations about her relationship with the convicted sex offender. Recent Justice Department document releases revealed that Ruemmler had received presents from Epstein and provided him with counsel on managing press coverage of his criminal conduct.
Her representative, Jennifer Connelly, issued a statement saying Ruemmler is eager to speak with the U.S. House Oversight Committee.
“She has done nothing wrong and had no knowledge of any ongoing criminal activity on his part,” Connelly stated.
According to Connelly, Ruemmler was working as a criminal defense lawyer during her dealings with Epstein and represented a mutual client.
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon announced Ruemmler’s departure from her chief legal officer position in February. In her own announcement, Ruemmler indicated she would be leaving the company in June.
Her exit represents the most significant departure from the banking industry following the Justice Department’s most recent disclosure of Epstein-related documents. Ruemmler had been one of the senior executive leaders at the prominent financial institution.
