House panel to question Ruemmler
NEW YORK, July 13 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs senior counsel Kathryn Ruemmler is set to face congressional scrutiny on Wednesday over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein, pushing the Wall Street bank back into the spotlight over its decision to keep her on despite her links to the convicted sex offender.
Ruemmler stepped down as chief legal officer and general counsel at the end of June after documents published by the U.S. Justice Department showed she accepted gifts from Epstein. She agreed to continue in an advisory role as senior counsel until the company appointed a new chief legal officer, Goldman CEO David Solomon said in an internal memo in June. Goldman’s decision has been criticized by some lawmakers.
