00:02Goldman Sachs' departing general counsel, Catherine Ruemmler, has been asked to testify
00:07before the House Oversight Committee over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein, according to the Wall
00:12Street Journal. Ruemmler said she will resign from Goldman Sachs later this year after revelations
00:16about her relationship with Epstein raised concerns inside the bank. Ruemmler said she
00:21had a professional relationship with Epstein and shared a client with him, but did not represent
00:26or advocate for him. She said he occasionally sought her advice, that she regretted knowing
00:30him, and that she had no knowledge of any unlawful activity on his part. The Wall Street Journal
00:35reported in 2023 that Ruemmler was among powerful individuals who regularly met with Epstein
00:41after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution. The bank and Chief Executive
00:46David Solomon have continued to support her. For all things money, visit benzinga.com.
