NEW: Jeffrey Epstein called her “my great defender.” Emails and text messages show Goldman Sachs’ top attorney Kathy Ruemmler — previously Obama’s WH counsel — disparaged reporting on Epstein’s abuse as “rehashed crap,” in 2018 and helped craft a 2019 publication relations comment denying he got a sweetheart deal and arguing he was pursued usually aggressively in 2008. He told an associate he could rely on Ruemmler as a character witness, describing her as an “arch feminist,” who was his “great defender,” and could show “the other side of Jeffrey.” His calendars show more than 50 planned meetings with Ruemmler — lunches, dinners, apartment hunting— plus personal entries like facials and a “Glam Squad” appointment for her, presenting a relationship far more intertwined than previously known. The Epstein estate is also fighting to keep hundreds of additional emails with Ruemmler private, arguing they’re protected by attorney–client privilege — suggesting even deeper involvement than what’s already public about her involvement in his legal affairs. cnn.com/2025/12/11/politics/…
