Kathryn Ruemmler welcomes closed-door interview and says she had no knowledge of ongoing criminal activity

lKathryn Ruemmler, who served as White House counsel under Barack Obama, is testifying on Wednesday morning before the House committee on oversight and reform about her ties to Jeffrey Epstein as part of the panel’s investigation into the convicted sex offender.

Ruemmler came under scrutiny earlier this year after her name appeared thousands of times in the records related to Epstein that were released by the justice department under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. She announced in February that she would be resigning from her role at Goldman Sachs as chief legal officer effective on 30 June.
