Former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler testifies before House Oversight Committee about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Kathy Ruemmler, former White House counsel to President Obama and former top lawyer at Goldman Sachs, appeared for a closed-door interview before the House Oversight Committee on July 15, 2026, as part of a bipartisan investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's network. In prepared remarks, Ruemmler said she regretted her association with Epstein, calling him a "masterful liar" who deceived her about his conduct, but stated she never saw evidence of ongoing criminal activity. Lawmakers from both parties questioned her closeness to the disgraced financier, with documents showing extensive communication and social ties that persisted after his 2008 conviction.
