Former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler turned to Jeffrey Epstein for help responding to allegations that she helped cover up an aide’s prostitution scandal, which emerged while she was under consideration to become attorney general, emails released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) reveal.
Ruemmler, whoresignedfrom her position as Goldman Sachs’s top lawyer on Thursday over her extensive ties to Epstein, enlisted the convicted sex offender in workshopping her response to an October 2014 press inquiry.
White House aides, including Ruemmler, allegedly failed to “thoroughly” investigate or publicly acknowledge evidence that a prostitute stayed overnight in an advance team volunteer’s hotel room during a 2012 Colombia trip, The Washington Postreportedon Oct. 8, 2014. Ruemmlerleftthe White House in May 2014 and was working in private practice when the story broke.
“[H]ow you doin,” EpsteinemailedRuemmler on Oct. 9, after the story dropped.
“Doing fine,” she replied. “Was talking to reporters until late in the morning last night. Trying to isolate/contain wapo.”
On Oct. 17, 2014, RuemmlersentEpstein her draft response to an email from “Carol” — presumably then-Washington Post reporter Carol D. Leonnig, who broke the original report — about a “second phase” of her story.
Epsteinquestionedwhether the aide still denied the incident. “[I]mportant point,” he wrote, according to emails released by the DOJ.
Ruemmler affirmed he did, noting she was “making some more tweaks.”
