Jeffrey Epstein had deep connections to the Democrat elites.
Now, those ties are being exposed.
And a top Obama official's life was turned upside down after this Epstein bombshell.
Goldman Sachs women revolt over Epstein emails scandal
Kathryn Ruemmler served as Obama's White House counsel from 2011 to 2014 before landing at Goldman Sachs as chief legal officer in 2020.
She told Goldman executives her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was purely professional.
That was a lie.
New court documents just exposed Ruemmler as one of Epstein's closest confidants during the sex trafficker's final years.
A privilege log from Epstein's estate shows Ruemmler appeared in more than 300 emails with the convicted pedophile between 2014 and 2019.
The estate claims attorney-client privilege on 277 of those messages because they involved legal advice about Epstein's sexual assault lawsuits.
Ruemmler met with Epstein over 50 times during that same period according to his calendars.
Epstein called Ruemmler his "great defender" in messages to Bill Gates.
He knew her sushi order down to the specific rolls.
Epstein visited apartments she was considering buying and had his assistant upgrade her to first class on flights.
She was listed as backup executor of his will just months before his arrest.
Women at Goldman refuse to work with Epstein's lawyer
The revelations triggered a revolt inside Goldman Sachs that CEO David Solomon can't contain.
Solomon organized a dinner at his Manhattan apartment in 2024 to address the lack of senior women at the firm.
He made one catastrophic mistake by having Ruemmler help organize the event for women executives.
The women who attended were appalled.
Goldman's most senior female executive was Epstein's former lawyer and confidant.
Solomon complained about the backlash at a later gathering with high-ranking women.
He couldn't believe senior women at Goldman would bristle at Ruemmler since she was such an important advisor to the firm.
The women weren't buying it.
CNN reported this week that new court documents show Ruemmler provided extensive legal advice to Epstein on his sex abuse cases.
The pressure inside Goldman exploded.
John Rogers, the powerful Goldman executive who hired Ruemmler, told close associates he's preparing a contingency plan for her exit later this year.
Rogers wants to give Ruemmler a graceful departure that distances her ouster from the Epstein revelations.
Too late for that.
Obama's lawyer helped Jeffrey Epstein silence victims
Goldman's handling of Ruemmler exposes the ugly truth Democrats hoped would stay buried.
Epstein wasn't some Republican operative or Trump associate despite years of Democrat media trying to push that lie.
The dead pedophile spent decades running in the same circles as the highest levels of power in the Democrat Party.
Larry Summers, Bill Clinton’s Treasury Secretary and Obama economic advisor, got his career destroyed this year after emails showed him seeking romantic advice from Epstein as recently as 2019.
Summers stepped down from OpenAI's board, took leave from Harvard, got banned for life from the American Economic Association, and resigned from Santander's advisory board.
Photos of Bill Clinton on Epstein's private jet surfaced alongside flight logs showing dozens of trips.
Democrat megadonor Reid Hoffman's connections to Epstein came to light.
Bill Gates met with Epstein repeatedly at his Manhattan mansion years after his conviction.
Epstein embedded himself at the heart of Democrat power because that's where the money and influence lived.
Court filings show Ruemmler helped draft threatening legal letters to ABC News in 2015 to kill a "Good Morning America" segment featuring Epstein accusers.
The segment never aired.
She was among attorneys who worked with Epstein to preserve his controversial 2008 plea deal and edit correspondence with senators.
New documents reveal she discussed strategy for Epstein's potential character witness letters and was even considered to cross-examine his accusers.
Obama's top lawyer was strategizing how to attack women who accused Epstein of sexual abuse.
Democrats created the MeToo movement and tried to destroy Brett Kavanaugh over uncorroborated allegations.
Then they protected a convicted sex offender's lawyer all the way to the top of Goldman Sachs.
Goldman defends Ruemmler while others got destroyed
Goldman Sachs keeps defending Ruemmler despite overwhelming evidence she was Epstein's go-to fixer for silencing abuse victims.
CEO David Solomon called her an "excellent general counsel" even after the privilege log showed she advised Epstein on combating his accusers.
Leon Black stepped down as CEO of Apollo Global Management in disgrace four years ago over his Epstein ties.
Jes Staley resigned as CEO of Barclays amid investigations into his relationship with Epstein.
Ruemmler gets a carefully managed exit strategy and Goldman's full support until the scandal becomes too toxic.
The women at Goldman see the hypocrisy.
Goldman talks about supporting women while protecting the lawyer who helped a pedophile attack his victims.
Rogers is scrambling to engineer a quiet exit before more damaging revelations surface from the 277 privileged emails still under seal.
Those emails could expose exactly how far Obama's White House counsel went to help a convicted sex offender evade accountability for decades of abuse.
Democrats spent years trying to connect Trump to Epstein despite zero evidence of wrongdoing.
The real Epstein network runs straight through the Obama White House and the highest levels of Democrat power.
Voters won't forget which party actually protected Jeffrey Epstein's enablers.
