Ruemmler and Epstein’s relationship is under scrutiny.

Luxury bag and watch, spa treatments… a relationship under scrutiny.

Among the 3 million new Jeffrey Epstein files released by the DOJ, former Barack Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler is again mentioned in hundreds of messages.

Ruemmler apparently got close to Epstein after leaving the White House, with the disgraced financier – and convicted sex offender – bestowing lavish gifts upon her, including a $9,400 Hermes handbag and a spa trip at the Four Seasons in DC.

The New York Post reported:

“Ruemmler, who now serves as general counsel at Goldman Sachs, enjoyed the ‘full half day’ spa appointment at the Georgetown resort in August 2016, writing to an associate that, ‘she won her case and needs some pampering’,” the Washington Free Beacon first reported.

‘Thank you! I am going to go on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. — massage then facial’, she responded the same day for the works, which can run up to $1,000, to which the associate replied, ‘Great!!!’”

In 2016, Epstein told his executive assistant Lesley Groff to confirm receipt for the Hermes bag, that were preceded by bouquets of flowers:

“’OH MY GOD!!!!! He is in so much trouble!!!! I am dying. It is so beautiful’, Ruemmler erupted in reply.”

In 2018, he got her a Hermes-branded Apple Watch as a Thanksgiving gift (retail price of $1,300).

“The emails cast doubt on Ruemmler’s claim in a statement last month to CNN that she ‘was not compensated’ for representing Epstein or providing PR advice.”

“In the latest Epstein file dump, documents made public show that Kathryn Ruemmler (Kathy) exchanged over 300 emails with Epstein and had more than 50 scheduled meetings with him well after his 2008 conviction as a child s*x offender.” (Black Betty)

All the correspondence occurred after Epstein pled guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008.

Back to the NYP reporting: in 2019, there are messages suggesting ‘Kathy’ was helping Epstein craft statements for the press.

“Ruemmler also consulted Epstein for career advice in previously released communications about potentially succeeding then-Attorney General Eric Holder at the Obama Justice Department, who urged her to ‘talk to the boss’.”
