Goldman Sach's general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler resigned Thursday night after the latest batch of Epstein files documented her relationship with the late-convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Ruemmler previously claimed that she maintained a strictly professional relationship with Epstein, who was a financier, but the new documents showed that the relationship expanded beyond professionalism and into friendship. 

The documents showed that Reummler, who joined Goldman Sachs in 2021, was a confidant of Epstein who gave him advice on responding to tough questions about his sex crimes, talked about her dating life and addressed him as “Uncle Jeffrey," the New York Times reported.

Ruemmler confirmed her resignation in a comment to the New York Times, stating that it was her job to "put Goldman Sachs’ interests first,” and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said he accepted the resignation.

“Throughout her tenure, Kathy has been an extraordinary general counsel, and we are grateful for her contributions and sound advice on a wide range of consequential legal matters for the firm,” Solomon said. “As one of the most accomplished professionals in her field, Kathy has also been a mentor and friend to many of our people, and she will be missed.”
